Nonna and Assunta have been doing excellent work in the garden and allotment. They’ve weeded and cut back everywhere front and back: the front looks great with all the inter-slab weed gone. They tied up the cucumbers and further secured the greenhouse tomatoes which, incidently, are starting to fruit; there are about five little green ones presently. And the courgettes are coming now; we’ve eaten two over so far: more on the way.
Meanwhile, I transplanted half of the kale that started life by the greenhouse to the allotment, at the back where the earlies were. I also planted some oriental onion (bit like spring onion) in one of the failed rows of cumin; and planted out some of the italian parsley; and sowed more corriander.
And then it rained. A lot.
