| Amaranthus Calaloo |
My plan for putting toilet rolls round each seed so I'd know when an experimental seedling has come up - got a big FAIL - here's the 4 different types of seedling for amaranthus calaloo - definitely recognise 2 of them as weeds! No idea what the plant should look like... Google images, here I come!
 |
| Leaves bed 1 |
Here's the first "leaves" bed - the brussel sprouts have survived their rabbit attack, nasturtiums doing fine and the toilet roll farm is growing well (whether they are seedlings or weedlings is a different matter altogether!). Got some brocolli and cauliflower come up, the leeks are doing fine between the leaves rows and the spinach is surviving at the end of the bed.

| Sweetcorn |
The sweetcorn has started to come up, I'm not sure if we'll get any crop but this is inspiring because I never got this far with sweetcorn at the previous allotment. Very excited to see more coming up too! It's not the crop, it's the
growing something that counts (that's the link to when all these were planted!)
Here's the first roots bed, with the turnips that we're thinning out gradually (in the middle).
Mike's protected the Jerusalem artichokes at the end (just behind the sweetcorn, and I've protected the smaller sweetcorn and carrot seedlings.
At the front, we've protected some of the Scorzonera and right at the front is some carrot and the
unknown-but-probably-beet seedlings coming up. We've got a few beetroot coming up right by the turnips as well.

| Sweetcorn, Carrots, Artichokes |
Everything's a bit slower this year, probably because of the amount of rain & lack of sunshine, but here's hoping that everything works out!
