I went to check on the melon yesterday and prepared myself for the worst. But apart from a couple of slightly nibbled leaves it seems quite happy in its new spot. We gave it lots of water and then there was a huge thunderstorm last night so everything down the allotment got drenched. Great really, it really needed it as the weather has been excrutiatingly hot of late. It’s pretty warm again today though, although overcast, but hopefully the plants will continue to do well.
Seedlings wise, I planted a couple of trays of rocket, some beetroot (just to finish off the packet really) and some parsley. To be honest its getting a little late to plant anything, and I need to work out what’s going where in the allotment to prepare for the big redesign with minimal plant loss ideally. And I need to find out where I can get straw!
