Cardoons

Another pleasant day although it did cloud over late in the afternoon.

On the plot our cardoons are looking really good. The old flower stalks from last year were removed and the bed was dug over ready to be planted up with sweet peas in a few days time.

I need to get the paths strimmed and the edges of the bed tidied to finish off the job.

Sue was busy weeding around our carrots and parsnips which have germinated well. Even though we’d used  weed control fabric some weeds had grown in the compost drills in which the carrots were sown.

Parsnips

Now all the competition has been removed we’re hoping that the carrots and parsnips will grow on with a minimum amount of attention. The best laid plans…….
