The not-so-lazy days of summer

Nearly everything is planted now. Runner beans and sweetcorn were the last, together with courgettes, which are just behind the netting. All are coming on OK.
I am picking beetroot and carrots, plus of course cabbages (below) and lettuce leaves. All delicious. I grew some beetroot in a tray and have just planted those out, so there should be a succession. And lettuce seed between the sweetcorn. It's been raining today, but is still warm, so with the long days everything is growing very quickly.


I've just bought some more netting, which will go over a whole plot, so my next job will be to fix up two vertical poles with a long pole on top, and put the netting on that. Hopefully, then, for the cabbages etc at least, there will be no caterpillar attacks! Always something to do, and never enough time to do it all!
