Day 14 on the allotment brings us to mid June but Summer is still being a bit tentative. Everything is holding back. There are nice sunny spells but they are also followed by quite grey and cloudy weather with rain. It is now or never to plant out seedlings and so I have butternut squash, African Marigolds, brassicas, courgette and sweetcorn all to get plant out. I have specific technique that makes this easy and also ensures the roots are not disturbed. There is also a very special guest on the plot as we welcome Sean James Cameron from The Horticultural Channel. http://www.thehortchannel.tv http://youtube.com/user/thehortchanneltv Sean takes a look around the plot and gives out some expert advice which is very welcome. He is quite impressed by my onions, peas and also samples one of the first strawberries of the year.I am still a novice gardener and so opportunities like this are great for me, and I am learning as much as I can as quickly as I can. It was great to have Sean over and we spent a really enjoyable day on the plot.
