Great gardening weather at last


This last bank holiday in May gave us brilliant weather to get out into the garden. With Saturday and Sunday being very hot and sunny, Monday was cooler but still pleasant. It seems that for the last few weeks the wind has been constantly strong and cold but even that has calmed down now.

The cold easterly wind has claimed the life of my Acer which I had left in front of the shed during winter. Just as the new leaves were beginning to develop, so did the cold wind and killed it off. I'm sure its much too late to save it now but Ive put it in a sheltered spot (where it should have been during winter) in the faint hope it may spring back to life next year.

Dwarf beans potted into final big pots with a lettuce intercrop. Each plant has a cane but I'm not sure if that will be necessary as none of the literature suggests so.

Iv have sown to much lettuce too early and so I'm struggling to find space for them. some have gone between the onions while more remain in small pots.
