I was pleased at the state of my plot when I returned from my six week break and didn't need to rush down to deal with any problems.
However, that doesn't mean there is not lots to do.
This last Sunday I spent too long chatting at the Trading Hut as I collected my seed order so I did not do a great deal. I was surprised that my package seemed much bigger than anyone else's but then realised when I got home that most of it was the 4 huge packets of green manure seed!
I did count how many 8 foot posts I have to check whether I have enough to build another Brassica tunnel/cage. The supplier for these posts has ceased trading so it is not yet sure whether the Trading Hut will be able to get them for a reasonable price in future.
I did manage to take down the netting for my unsuccessful attempt at a late crop of peas!
How do you store netting?
At the moment, once I have cleaned it, I fold each length into a bundle about a foot square, then stuff it into an old carrier bag and write the size of the piece on the bag with a permanent marker.
Does anyone have any better ideas?
