Mainly gardening

Today ended up as mainly a gardening day..potting up everything possible, top dressing the runner bean large pots with manure, and wondering how I can fit everything in!
The pot storage shed got a sortout, now I have three storage boxes of work to sort out and hopefully sell!


 The wind has battered the onions..its a bit early to have them over like this
 Sweetcorn in the rasberry bed..with more runner beans at the corners!
 Lentils..just to try

Courgettes and salad leaves, and tomatoes on the other side

 Cucumbers coming along nicely, waiting for Pirate to build a cold frame outside
 The latest sowing
 Lots of hollyhocks!
 Pinto beans.they could be dwarf beans....or pole beans...
After tea we foraged some willow to carry on with weaving windbreaks
Then we saw the sunset..



It is far more peachy and pink than the tablet can capture..but you get the idea!

Oh your garden is looking great! I'm interested to see how you go with the lentils and pinto beans. Are they red or brown lentils?

Evi those are green lentils, the slightly larger ones .I am growing the small grey Puy lentils, and chick peas too. Its fun to try things!

I've never heard of growing lentils. Can't wait to see how that turns out. And good luck with your hollyhocks. For some reason (as I wrote today) ours have done a whole lot of nothing.
