More Sowing
At the weekend I sowed a load more seeds. The two previous tunnels with the Carrots and Parsnips (just starting to germinate) were joined by a third tunnel (see above) in which I sowed more Carrots (Autumn King). I now have 6 rows of carrots in total. Next to the tunnel I sowed a row of Leeks (Titan), half a row of Beetroot (Boltardy) and Melissa sowed various other salad items including Lettuce, Radish and Spring Onions.
On the other plot I sowed some more Peas (Hurst Green Shaft), using Pea/Bean netting as support for the first time. There are two double rows of those (see above). The first rows of Peas that I sowed two weeks ago have germinated really well and all the rows look very good (see below).
I have also picked some Asparagus for the first time (see below). This is its second year, so I'm only picking a few spears - just 4 on this occasion. Hopefully it will continue to produce a few more spears and then next year have a bumper crop.

Wow you're soil looks to be in very good condition.

Thanks Ziggs. It's not great, but it's ok. It's always been fairly light and sandy, so I've gradually been adding manure for the past few years to try and make it retain moisture a bit more.

Ooooh asparagus, I bet those from your first harvest were very tasty. It's something I'm thinking about growing, once I've got the weeds under control in the bed I have ear-marked for them.
