After hardening off at the bottom of the garden more and more plants grown in the greenhouse - including beans, sweet corn, courgettes, leeks and various flower seedlings, over the past couple of days I have planted out the courgettes and runner beans at the allotment. Last night there was a slight frost scare so I covered everything in fleece but this morning everything looked fine and I don't think there was a frost anyway!
I also took a couple of rosemary bushes and some lemon balm and they also looked fine today.
The asparagus continues to look impressive though we shall not be able to harvest any until next April. At least we've proved we can do it though, and the deep beds look good.
Finally we may get the netting draped over the fruit cage very soon now as Kryssy has managed to find some at SCARF which sounds ideal - large enough, but of a type of netting which will drape easily over the fruit cage structure. Once that's in place all the brassicas can go in and no pigeons or butterflies will be able to get close!
