No dig diary, 9th June 2026

Yet more weeding today 😀 This time mostly in the cut flower bed which I’ve mostly ignored so far this year due to lack of time. The compost heap is looking rather full once again. It could well be time to stop feeding this one and move on to the next.

I also planted out most of my sweetcorn plants — those that I felt were tall enough. I still have nine plants that were late germinating to come. Every year something seems to nibble at the young plants, so this year I’ve temporarily put some netting over the top. I’ll replace it once I’ve cut some more support hoops or remove it when the plants have grown tall enough, whichever happens first.

And to finish off I planted out some bush borlotti beans. I’ve never tried this variety (Stregonta) before as I’ve always grown climbing ones.
