A fine specimen from yesterday as I planted out the last lot of brassicas. This guy is a purple Brussels sprout called ‘Red Bull’. Doesn’t give you wings, just wind!!😆

Planted out the Watermelons today(sugar baby). I’m letting them crawl on the ground although you can let them climb a bit. Plenty of compost in with them and lots of water. Fingers crossed for melons🤞🍉

It’s been tough on the transplanted beans these past two weeks with lots of sun and high winds. Most seem to be surviving but I’ve got some back seed to sow if they all decide to give up!!

Finally the new irrigation has arrived🙌 Buildin

Finally the new irrigation has arrived🙌 Building your own automated watering system is great fun, saves so much time and isn’t that expensive. I’ve currently not got mains near the tunnel so I’m using a low pressure system on a IBC tank. The key is to make sure you are using a solenoid timer and not a water pressure reliant one, make sure your main feed pipes head down hill/don’t double back on themselves and to use adjustable drippers(not pressure compensating) or a drip hose. 💦💦

Late to the party tomatoes! I wasn’t planning on having a tunnel, I didn’t sow many tomatoes. Giving some late sowing a try as there is no wrong or rights in horticulture, just lots of people with lots of different methods. Some methods suit you better then others, depending on how you like to garden and that’s the beauty of gardening. I’m 20 years in, I’ve still got f**k loads to learn🙌🌱
