Courgettes take two.

All of the courgettes that I planted a couple of weeks ago have disappeared now I planted this new one out today. It's covered by a bottle due to the plastic domes having blown away.


Despite all the rain we've had the ground is really dry, which I think must be due to the wind that's been blowing so fiercely. The plants are not growing very quickly at all. No sign of all those beans!

I have a few little Purple Sprouting broccoli seedlings showing through now though. Last time I tried growing them they got  eaten by pigeons so today I built this age over them to stop the birds getting in.  This is the kind of task that I hate doing though. Digging and weeding I much prefer.
