June 2014 Starting up again

June 2014
Well, not been much progress on Square metre but have got it going again.  One frame has gone down our allotment where much of our time is being spent it has to be said!   Anyway, had a bit of free time on  Sunday so got it the one remaining square metre garden up and running on Sunday 1st June 2014.  Have transplanted some lettuces at various stages of development.  Middle square has beetroot in it, bottom middle has radishes Top right and middle right have some more lettuces planted which will be about a month behind the rest of them.

Friday 31st May Stuff going on

Friday 31st May 2013

About time for a picture I thought.  Progress report - all the tomatoes are now out.  I'm going to put runner beans out tonight.  Everything is ticking over nicely.  Composter looks like it's starting to do something!

Metre Squared number two beginning to look a bit healthier, strawbs in good shape.

Metre Squared number one - lettuces ready to come out.  Tomatoes are all outside as well now. 

Thursday 23rd May 2013 - check up

MSquare number two has had some Lily dog trampling hassles.   MSquare number one's tomato has had some frost bite a few days back.  Otherwise, everything going okay.  This weekend am planning to put the runner beans in as it's near as damnit end of may!

Metre Squared number 1 is coming along okay apart from the frost bit tomato plant

Metre Squared number2 is starting to come to life despite the hound trampling the beetroots

Thursday 16th May 2013 first bit of planting

Got home and got busy with metre square garden number two.  Miscalculated a bit as have gone and put 12 beetroot into one square thinking there should be 16 when in fact the number should have been 9!!  Never mind will sort that out later.  Have put 16 onions into one square and 12 more little gem lettuces into three square - still plenty of space for filling - will rejig the beetroots later to sort them out.

Thursday 16th May 2013 - More prep on the second acre (well metre)

Got the string done on the second one - will check forecast tonight and if it no sign of frost will get some of the squares populated.

Our little Jack Russell is well impressed with the second square!

Wednesday 15th May 2013 - a late tumble

Due to cruddy weather yesterday I forgot to tumble the compost.  So after feeding the plants (Wednesday is feed day) I tumbled the Compost for a good minute or so.  The Draper instructions tell you to tumble it every other day but I've seen people say tumble it every day so am going to do a bit more research on that!

Tuesday 14th May 2013 - How green does your garden grow?

Things coming along nicely - I banged another nine beetroot into top right corner but they don't look too happy other than that everything ticking over nicely - 4 runner beans going to go into that back middle square. The carrots are a bit wimpy it has to be said but other than that things are coming through quite nicely now.   Going to be compost tumble night tonight - bosskat wants to have a go - bet the novelty will wear off quickly when she realises it's quate hard work!

Begining to look 'something like'
