To be frank, this coir seed compost takes a good half hour to crumble and reconstitute. If mixing up more than a brick at a time it is worth wearing gloves as the material is fairly abrasive, even after soaking the brick in approximately 1.5l of water.
The first of the peas.
The first of the beans. 4x Cobra climbing bean, 4x Bird's Egg climbing bean, 4x Magpie dwarf bean, 4x Soya bean; the race is on.
For the record:
- 2x Agnes cucumber
- 1x Astia courgette
- 1x Defender courgette
- 1 row Long Red Surrey carrot
- 1 row Yellowstone carrot
- 5x Mammoth salsify
- 5x Covent Garden beetroot
- 5x Purple Top Milan turnips
The root bed today; the Christmas dinner Tender & True parsnips we
sowed on 20/2/14 have all come up and the radishes are looking like a
prospect for Easter breakfast :) Bring on the festivities.
