Celery

Structures 2 - spiral staircase

This picture says a lot. It says this. Top left: find some old freezer trays and put them over some of your Little Gem lettuces as a sort of protection. Watering cans: try not to lose the rose. Tray on plastic pot: remind me what this is, A? On rusty ex-bed, top left: why did we sow quite so many leeks? Ditto, bottom left: that celery needs transplanting. Ditto, trough and black pot next to it: mixed salad leaves, you can't go wrong. In front of trough: cosmos plants: so far quite easy to grow but need transplanting. Baby kale in tray on grass: fine up to a point, point arrives when leaves begin to taste bitter, precise point as yet to be established. Potato beds: four more weeks till first harvest unless it continues to rain as much as it has done this month. Views: to be enjoyed. Far right in the background of Plot Six: two sweetcorn on the brown compost heap have been attacked by slugs. Never mind, we have lots and will transplant more.
