On the left hand side you can see that we have put up some more pea netting along the remaining part of the fence that divides the plot into two and planted out the french climbing beans and the runner beans. The sweetcorn (variety Incredible) were planted out in a grid of 5x3 next to the onions.
After a week in the ground the beans look really sick (the leaves have gone yellowy/green you might be able to see this in the above pic) so as a precaution we have also sown some seeds direct in between the beans.
The cutting flowers have also been planted out, these include cornflowers, cosmos and nigella - you can see two of the cosmos plants on the right hand side in the above pic.
Since the cayenne chillis far exceed their supports, they have been moved into larger pots with taller stakes:
They now reside in the plastic greenhouse as they are far to big to live on a windowsill! All the tomatoes have been potted on too.
Finally, I have taken some soft-wood cuttings of the lavender and rosemary in our garden to see if I can raise some new plants:
I have put these in our utility away from direct sunlight where it is cool and bright. The growing medium is a mix of compost and vermiculite. I have not used hormone rooting powder (since I don't have any!)
Lots of plants are coming into bloom in our garden. How about this amazing oriental poppy:
Or these foxgloves (apricot purpurea) grown from seed purchased at Gardeners World Live 2 years ago:
