Today I made one final large pick from the lettuces in the polytunnel and then removed them so no plants other than the garlic are left. I’m hopeful that within a couple of weeks the outdoor lettuces will be ready to harvest. The intention is to get rid of any aphids on the lettuces before starting to plant out the tomatoes and peppers, to which ends I’ll leave starting to plant them out until tomorrow.
What I did do however was start spreading compost on the beds to feed the soil before the new plants go in.
That meant that I finished emptying compost bay 3 and started on 4. After moving a load of stuff from the top of 4 into 3, that was.
It can’t stay there long though as we’ll soon finish filling bay 2, which is still a quite toasty 69°C, having reached the giddy heights of 73°C a week ago.
