Here Come the Cucurbits

 


Another rainy day dissuades me from visiting the allotment.  Instead I am tending to the plants at home waiting for their invasion of the allotment.  OK these courgettes, squashes, pumpkins and cucumbers don't look quite so alien when they are in the greenhouse under natural light.


There are plenty seedlings awaiting improved weather.  You might spot the tomatoes which are having a temporary excursion out of the greenhouse, and there are runner beans and peas too.  I have plenty of spare alliums and a whole host of lobelia just needing to be found a final spot.




Also there are some later brassica seedlings.  More than enough to fill the garden, allotment and school garden!


It is a relief to get to the direct sowing.  Soon I will have to reconfigure the greenhouse for the tomatoes and cucumbers.

  1. We have lots of seedlings in waiting too but they need to get growing a bit before they go out.

  2. Coo, so much to plant out! You will be busy. Hope your weather is meant to be warming up and drying out from the weekend, as ours is. Great song
