| look how fine the soil on the right is-essential prep for growing carrots |
It was a misty crappy day on Wednesday. Two of the lads were burnt out from moving house and the inevitable decluttering that comes with it. In hopes of reviving them we went to Jacks. The spuds we planted two weeks ago have begun to sprout, giving us great encouragement that temperatures in the soil of the tunnel will support early carrots, spring onions, peas and salad crops. To save Jack finding all his strong pea supports(his filing system wouldn't be the greatest) we sowed a nice compact variety called meteor.This little pea only grows to a foot and a half but it bears lots of delicious peas. I would have loved to fill the ground with loads of home made compost but jacks next lot is not ready. Instead we opted for mushroom compost. It will be interesting to see how the peas do in it.
we sowed;
carrots early Nantes 5
french white salad onions
peas meteor
We ran out of time but next it will be beetroot, spinach, lettuce mixed and oriental salad mixes.
