Angela showed a very enthusiastic Anja how to turn the contents of the compost bins; there’s still a little material  in Bin 1 which could go into Bin 2, and there is now a large pile of new material which needs chopping up so it can be added to Bin 1. If there are any of the weeds shown on the lid of the black compost bin beside it, put them in the black bin.  Spare leaves which have been removed from the veggie beds in preparation for planting can also be added to Bin 1.

Broad Bean Bed

We sowed onions and scallions down the middle of the ‘Broad Bean’ bed as the small of the onions keeps aphids away from the broad means. A great example of companion planting. It was just in time as the broad bean are now coming up beautifully!

We also started planting two of the three pots of leek seedlings in V3 and will finish them on the next visit.

Art came along to keep us company and dug over V8 in preparation for planting the seed potatoes in the next day or so.

And we had some visitors from the neighbourhood, we hope to see them back when our public work parties start up again.

Until next time gardeners,

Angela
