The frost last night put a few things in danger – luckily nothing much has taken off outside. At this time of year, the tunnel can really cheer one up! Things grow…..quickly. Here’s some fresh pictures from the tunnel – the sunflowers are almost all ready to rear their heads. These are going to be decorative around the garden and hopefully for harvesting some seeds of our own. The tunnel fennel is definitely winning the race agains the outside fennel so far (healthy competition is good for plants, and the end consumer!). You can see the fennel seed ready to spring off the top. I’m hoping we’ll be enjoying the bulbs sliced into many dishes in a few months. I haven’t grown these before.
I put in a few more seeds – mainly successive stuff like a few lettuces and coriander.
