Very organised Ruud, and incredibly neat, and where on earth do you keep the weeds????  Your soil looks very light coloured.  Is it sandy??

Tonight I sowed some trail of tears beans to be planted out in about 10 days as my spuds are dug up.  My witloof hasn't bothered to germinate yet, but I am putting that down to lack of water.  I must remember to water it tomorrow or else no winter greens!

Your plot is a good size and you have it packed!!!  ;D

E.j,also i got weeds beleave my it is a never ending story.The soil is what the call here zavel,that means it is a mixture between sand and clay,remember that the beach is only 4 miles away.We are sowing in old dunes.

looking good!

bizarre soil. So does it get waterlogged (like clay) or drain well (like sand).

With all those seeds you sent me, my veg patch should look like that, but it doesn't. Some evil little slimey thing keeps eating all the beans I put out! And it got the cucumber too.

IT has the benefit of both,it isnt so dry as sand but it also keep moist like clay does.
