Quick plant out onions, carrots & sugarsnap peas.


  • Planted out a number of the onion seedlings amongst many of the greens. 
  • Planted out carrot seedlings that were planted a few weeks ago though they don't look too healthy or that they have had too good a start. 
  • Sugarsnap pea seedlings planted into the pot that has had tomatoes and radishes in it forever - to prepare it for more tomatos when the olds return.
I have been away and had nobody to water the seedlings in the greenhouse and many of the seedling trays dried out unfortunately. The beetroot I planted a couple of weeks ago hasn't come up though the nasturtions and the marigolds have survived. 

Prepared a new no-dig garden bed in the South Western corner of the back yard that gets the morning sun. I am thinking it will be a good bed for greens as the weather starts to warm up and they will handle the hours of morning sun... I hope that will be enough. They should get a good 4-5 hours. 

The compost was getting a little out of control moist and smelly so I have layered it through the no-dig bed so I din't have to salvage it.
