Geoff and I have planted out some broccoli (a mixture of purple- and white-sprouting). Its all we could find at Picks: we were told that the sprout and leek sets had all already gone! The broccoli has gone into the first trench that Irene and Jonathan dug (trench no.2) and we've protected them (hopefully) with some netting and an organic slug deterent. So, using Jonathan's classication, row 2 is the brassica row!
In the polytunnel, we've sowed 2 rows each of: rocket; spinach; salad leaves; and lettuce (variety is bionda lenta). There's still space to repeat that in maybe a couple of weeks time. At the opposite end a couple of chilli plants and a tarragon bush have gone in. Please keep an eye on the moistness of the soil. It can be watered using the overhead watering system. It mostly works. Just plug in the yellow hose connector (in a flowerpot inside the polytunnel) between the water tap and the hose running up the side of the plot.
In the next few days, Geoff and I will reroof the shed and secure it, and lay down tarpaulin behind the polytunnel.
