Week Eight

Yes, we've been away a while - but there has been lots of progress. The courgettes are growing good-o and everything else is doing well. The sprouts are a little slow, but we have one or two growers. They appear to prefer the north facing kitchen to the south facing hall window.


Our biggest sprout plant.



Our most impressive courgette plant.







The transferred sprout plants - a bit small, and as you can see below a few withered leaves. They looked a little sun burnt from the front of house window sill. We'll see how they go..






Inside Leeks versus Outside Leeks... the inside guys are doing much better, but will have to go outside soon ... it'll be interesting to see what happens then...






The lettuce needed thinning. No matter how careful we were, tons of seeds got into each hole. Below are our final efforts. Not sure we've left enough space between them, but we'll find out soon enough.




A few new additions - even though its getting a little late in the season to be planting...

Pumpkins, rocket and mystery lettuce.


Chives and a new sowing of Brussels Sprouts.
