Update for September 2010

Plenty happening this month , but not many pictures.  Applied the three sisters (Maize / Squash / Beans) in May, the beans have not been flowering well as I couldn't locate the tips to nip out and force lateral growth; a sudden reversal in the prevailing wind allowed a third of the Sweet corn to collapse under the weight of the non fruiting beans ; squash has grown through the patch ...and way out the other side before setting any fruit!  Despite this the Sweet Corn has produced much better this year.  The Earlier of my two apples "Greensleeves" is now ready to pick.
 

Update for May 2010

May, by the time my tulips are out I know I should have finished turning the plot over and the sowing and planting will be well under way.

This small patch of Honesty has been here three years now and appears to be seeding itself nicely. I have seen some of the early cabbage whites feeding on it, they seem to be oblivious to my brassica seedlings so this seems to be working as an insect atractant and sacraficial crop.

Also in full flower, and now I know spring is here , are my apple espaliers of "Greensleeves",
