The Flowerpot Girls : The tale of a girl who left her radishes alone for too long

A healthy bit of neglect? Yes. Complete neglect? No. Not only have I not been keeping up with this blog, I forgot about my radishes. They started growing wildly out of control, blocking the cucumbers from the sun! So today, before work I have decided to be more productive. Ripping up the radishes (of which there was more stalk than vegetable) and finding only three was a bit disappointing but I swearI heard the cucumber plants sigh with relief and stretch. I have replanted the courgettes and cucumber plants, but we have a new problem. I have got the plants mixed up. I’m not very good with straight lines therefore we will have to play a guessing game when they come up! At least they got on, finger’s crossed!

Overgrown radishes!

Not sure what happened...

Good enough!

The broad beans are doing well!

Guess which one is which! Because I can’t.

The spring onions and carrots are doing just fine; they’ve been spaced out now so they’re getting along a lot better! The cats (finger’s crossed) have stopped going into the raised bed now that the onions are coming up but that doesn’t stop them from standing on the edge of the planter, as if to taunt me! Dorothy has managed to sleep on the fern in the pot so much that the fern has started to grow sideways. The kale has started to take off on its own accord, so that is being left for a while. I have had to raise the tomatoes off the ground because they were starting to look miserable and waterlogged. Hopefully the crop will forgive me for leaving them so long!
