We took the covers from the allium and lettuce beds to mow the paths. I thought it would be a good opportunity to show the progress the crops are making. In the centre there are beetroot about ready for cropping to your right are the spinach and chard both are being harvested at the moment . At the extreme left and right are the newly planted leeks.
Below are the first lettuce we planted outside in early June, They may be ready to harvest for Moseley market this weekend
This picture of Chard shows how the maize mulch works for weed control, there is no weed growth and the crop is clean , no rain splash spoiling the look and quality of the harvested leaves
