Went back to the plot last night as I want to get as much in as possible as everything is growing now at a rate of knots. Felt still slightly depressed by the amount of thistle plants rearing their heads everywhere, even in areas where I have double dug into the sublayer (and am still suffering with back pain as a consequence). Those roots must go down a mile. I've decided to just try and pull up as many as I can as I go along, giving the veggies a fighting chance against their enemy. Manage to pick up the last of the free horse manure from Sami's so took it down last night and made a new bed for my Duchy Organic french beans, which I've had in pots in the greenhouse. I also made a couple of pits, filled them with muck and planted some courgettes too.
Ok here is a little inventory to date what I've planted in my Brewer street beds!

I'm not growing any winter crops now in case we move over the summer, seems like a waste of time unless we are going to enjoy them!
