GYO Update May 2020

We have gone from so hot I did not know what to do with myself, then it changed and we were indoors with the heating clicking on as it is so cold. May involved a lot of watering with the crazy temperatures we were having, but as you can see the GYO did pretty well.

I have planted everything out in the middle of May. Looking back here everything looked so small.

As you can see the sweetcorn is looking very happy and growing well. The courgettes have started to flower. I am hoping I have more success with them this year.



I have done better with my succession planting. I planted the second batch of carrots, beetroot and onions just over a month after the original ones. You can see the carrots are doing much better in terms of germination.




The cucumbers are looking good and still growing but no sign of any flowers or fruits. The aubergine is still very tiny but they are growing so we shall keep watching and waiting.




The first year I have had any success with peas and runner beans. Both after about four attempts I managed to get around four or five of each plant. We have peas forming which have made me rather happy.




My tiny little pepper plant is doing well and looks like some flowers are forming.



I am hoping soon we may have some harvest from the hard work.
