We need to get the greenhouse up!

This week, we were off on holiday on Monday. We planted brussel sprout plants into raised beds on Wednesday then we started off more potatoes in bags and planted onions between the sprouts on Friday.
Miss Swallow has taken some seedlings home to repot and look after, and we have more under our cloche but the slugs are going to be our enemy!! Some seedlings have been eaten already which is why we really want to get the greenhouse up asap! We are going to level a platform and lay grit this coming week (slugs hate crawling over grit!), then hopefully Mr MacKenzie can come to help put the greenhouse up.
Oh yes! We featured in the North Star too this week - with details about the Sunflower competition. The seedlings are coming on nicely - look out for a photo of them in our very own greenhouse next week (hopefully!)

Below you can see lettuce (in the tray), peas, corgettes and pumpkins and a mung bean sprout that Lewis planted instead of eating it, just to see what happened!
