No dig diary, 19th May 2024

More sowing in the greenhouse today. Mostly climbing beans and cucurbits — the stuff that needs something bigger than a module tray. Beans mostly seem to take care of themselves, but the last few years I’ve had problems getting cucurbits to germinate, especially the squashes and courgettes. I’ve thought about taking the covers off the propagators during the day to limit the heat and then replacing them in the evening to see if that helps. I reckon it gets pretty hot inside the propagator trays during the daytime. Perhaps first I should stick a thermometer in. Get some actual evidence first, hey?
