No dig diary, 1st November 2021
I went outdoors this morning after some fairly torrential rain and quite stiff winds that are predicted to get stronger this afternoon to find my runner beans plants at an alarmingly jaunty angle. I therefore temporarily abandoned the plan to … Continue reading
No dig diary, 24th July 2021
Looking last night at the forecast for today it was heavy rain all day with thunderstorms this afternoon. I didn’t therefore feel compelled to drag myself out of bed particularly early, but when I did so found that it wasn’t … Continue reading

Things seem to have slowed down in the veggie plot a bit, partly because I was ill for the best part of a week, but also because there doesn’t seem to be much to do. Many of the plants I … Continue reading

It’s not been the easiest of days out in the veg plot today, with frequent, often torrential, rain showers. Overnight the slugs ate half a dozen of the calabrese and cabbages I planted out yesterday 🙁 I’ve replaced them and … Continue reading

No dig diary, 4th April 2021
On 27th March I sowed a single twenty-cell module tray, half with a second sowing of calabrese and half with spring cabbage. Whilst the calabrese have germinated well, there’s no sign of the cabbages yet, so I decided to sow … Continue reading

Quite a busy outdoors day today, some of which was just getting on with tidying stuff up after the winter, but at long last I did manage to get my broad beans (twenty-eight in total from two sowings on 5th … Continue reading

I looked over the seeds I sowed on 5th February today, and I wasn’t that impressed with what had germinated. It’s been a bit patchy. The broad beans that have germinated look fairly happy: but I’ve not got as many … Continue reading

The weather forecast has suddenly turned very chilly, with temperatures staying below freezing for quite a few days, so I’ve moved the broad beans sown on 5th February to the propagator. Hopefully they’ll be happier there than they would be … Continue reading
No dig diary, 5th February 2021
Somewhat later than I originally planned (my intention was to do this mid-January, but given the weather I really don’t think it matters that much), today I have sown broad beans, beetroot, spinach and peas. The broad beans (Aquadulce Claudia) … Continue reading
