Sunny end to May

The weather has really picked up with temperatures up to 26 degrees the past three days! Everything has put on a growth spurt. Jobs from this week:

- put up support canes for beans
- planted more peas in front of bean support
- planted more spring onions and cos lettuce
- planted borlotti beans straight in ground (never grown before so will be interesting to see how these get on)
- planted out runner beans (lady di) and purple French beans

Popped down first thing today to water and noticed that the children's pumpkins, peas and beetroot are coming up.

Off on holiday camping for a week next Saturday so I want to dig over the final piece of planting ground ready to take the leeks, beetroot, more beans and peas during the evenings this week.
