Oooh er!!!

Ain't been here for a while - but then again, been a bit quiet on the plot with me concentrating on ground preparation.

Last of my broad beans in up there - planning went a bit wrong cos calculations have shown that the sweetcorn will take more space than thought so had to do some digging to get the broadies in. Also have one runner area dug and an area for some Nantes and Autumn King carrots once I get the soil fine enough.

Parsnips are up but germination has been a bit patchy with whole areas that seem devoid. Carrot germination has also been patchy. Must have been the dry weather. Got half of my runners (two varieties) sown at the weekend. The other half will be sown when the others go in the ground.

Tonight I sowed half my sweetcorn (Double Standard) Will sow the other half when I get some more rootrainers.
