Sun on Sunday on Plot 69

Split the day in half today and took advantage of the sunshine (I know... sunshine!) spending the morning at plot 69 then going to 119 for the afternoon.  So on 69 today we caught up with some weeding (as usual!), everything doing well, put in some more winter cabbages and cauliflowers, picked some beetroots for pickling, broad beans for tea and the last of the red onions to make some red onion chutney.  Managed to get 2pts of tayberries as well from our dividing hedge with Alan, will be making more jam I think!  Certainly getting some use out of my new jam pan.

Lots of slugs and snails in the brassica beds but managed to sort out that problem as we weeded, luckily not too much damage done and made sure fresh slug deterrant was put down before we left.  The chard is doing exceptionally well and we decided to leave that uncovered today as nothing much seems to be very interested in eating that!

Runner beans are putting out lots of flowers and the bees seem very interested in them, the dwarf beans are a little disappointing though, not sure if we will do them again next year, will wait and see, only half of them survived and they look a bit puny.
