Re: Wednesday Open Thread (4.00 / 5)

Badly neglected. The fruit trees and so on are fine, though I need to beat back the dandelions a bit. The annuals are way behind: I have the tender stuff - tomatoes, chillis, melons, stuff like that - at seedling stage in the greenhouse and they need transplanting. All the other stuff - beans, peas, lettuce, corn, etc - all needed to be planted already and aren't. They'll just have to run late and maybe crop under protection at the end of the season.

Oh, and the garden is full of yellow flowers from brassicas and land cress run to seed. Pretty enough in an overgrown sort of way and the bees seem to like them but I don't think they'll win any gardening prizes.

I woulda thought you'd be using dandelions in salad. More bitter than rocket, but interesting.

Well, yes, to a certain extent, but there's only so much of them you can eat and they're getting out of control. I said beat-back, not eradicate!
