Rained Off
Ignoring the pattern of pleasant mornings and thoroughly miserable afternoons I stayed in bed far too long and by the time breakfast had been consumed the rain was pouring down. The walk from the car to the garden centre door, all 20 metres of it, was enough us leave me bedraggled and convinced of the impossibility of getting anything done outside today. Still, I have got my seeds for the rest of the summer. If anyone has any experience of these varieties let me know how you got on with them.
Squash: Golden Hubbard and Spooktacular F1
Carrot: Autumn King 2 and New Red Intermediate
Swede: Invitation and Angela
Pea: Onward and Kelvedon Wonder
I've also got some sweetcorn and runner bean seedlings, as well as some potatoes currently busy chitting. The potatoes are Kestral but as for the rest, I don't have the foggiest idea, I really should have asked at the farmer's market.
It feels like a lot for a plot started so late in the year, especially one that is currently a dockleaf factory. As long as the rain stops at some stage in the next month I should manage to get the weeds cleared and the seeds in ground. What happens after that is anyone's guess.
