No dig diary, 1st July 2026

Didn’t do a huge amount today, but first off I planted out all my spare squashes in the polycrub. Hopefully they’ll be happy enough there. Still need to get some weeding done in the polycrub, but that can wait a day or two.

Next up was weeding in “The Melon House”, which is actually a greenhouse where I attempt to grow not only melons, but also aubergines and chiles. There wasn’t an awful lot that needed doing and once it was tidy I planted out all the melon seedlings that germinated — only five, sadly.

There’s actually a fair bit of space left here, so I might plant something else as well. I have plenty of spare tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers.

Finally I did a little tidying up in the polytunnel, mostly removing leaves from the tomatoes below trusses that had set fruit, so it doesn’t look a whole lot different from yesterday.
