Work has commenced on what will be the sweetcorn bed ie removal of mypex, then weeding (it’s amazing how determined thistles are to grow under the mypex) and sieving the soil.

The under-cover broad beans are well in flower.

The worcesterberry bushes, (cut down earlier to see if they’ll recover from last year’s attack by gooseberry aphids), have new shoots, plus the removal of stinging nettle roots, or as many as could be located!

The construction of posts and bamboo supports in the polytunnel for this year’s tomato and cucumber plants, means many are now in situ.
