Looks like i have been caught out by the harsh frosts of May.
After tracking the weather and knowing that a frost was on its way i spent the day protecting the veg and fruit outside. All looked ok when i arrived the next day until i went to water the plants inside the greenhouse. The frost had managed to get in and ruin some of my runners and pumpkins. I couldnt believe that it had got some plants in the greenhouse however all plants outside survived.

Well its been some time since I last posted so i will do a quick update of the plot for 2011.









In the Brassica bed i have planted cauliflower and broccoli, Due to the high winds we are getting from the east i have protected the young plants with plastic bottles and canes until they get well established.





















The root bed is doing well even with the dry weather The only real pain is weeding round the small carrots










Inside the greenhouse we have runner beans which will be ready to plant out in the next two weeks once the risk of ground frost has passed









Also under the glass we have my three special chillia plants
