May 21st - Growth Spurt

Sunday morning saw us gather again for our weekly fix of getting up close to Mother nature and what a lovely sunny and dry morning it was too, the only thing lacking, and not missed, was the strong smell!



Mr. Darcy was waiting for us with open arms and a smile on his face when he saw how delighted we were to see that our plants had grown and some were in flower and some with fruit.



THE GROWTH SPURT


Pepper

Tomatoe

Cherry Toms

Pondering over the lettuces!

So after checking over the growth of all our plants and make notes about an aubergine plant starting with a pale yellow shade on lower leaves, a little bit of weeding, organic pellets of fertilizer put in ground near to each plant; we decided to get some more piping down, sow more seeds and general get our hands dirty!


 Thanassis kindly assisted us again in the laying of new pipes so that we can increase our crops, he also provided us with a tap so we can wash off our hands but must remember that it is NOT DRINKABLE!

The Tap
Seeds sown!  Pumpkin and Rokka (rocket)

More onions planted out

What will it be? - Lisa sowing more seeds to be carefully raised to seedlings before transplanting!
