THE COVER IS UNDERWAY

At last we have had a day with no rain -although its threatening now!!!
Anyhow I have taken advantage of the "dry" spell and started to cover the brassica cage. It needs a bit more securing and tidying (oh and a couple of small holes need darning)-but by heck I think it might work!!!!!
As you can see see -I have 8 crates in there and 4 pots and Im going to be wedging in a few troughs -so I should get a fair few veggies in there. Once the troughs around the outside have been filled they will help keep it weighted down too .

Initially I was going to grow cucumber in the crates inside -but now I'm thinking of growing them in the troughs outside -giving them some ropes to climb -that way I will have more room for brassicas inside -and the cucumbers will provide them with shade..

Now I just need the weather to brighten a bit so I can get the patio and other pots cleaned and in place so i will be ready to go.... who knows -I might get around to setting some seeds one day soon lol
