  1. Eh up Plot looks good mate you have a load going on this year poor blue tit.. I like the wires off the pallets. Lupines look great I have some growing. The pok choy cut the top off and you can eat the flowers and the lot. It might be a bit warm under that net so it wen to flower. But you can eat tit all all the same.I have a nest full of blue tits now in the bird box they are about ready to fledge
    You have more going on this year than last. Nice one 😉
    Cheers

  2. Hmmm….blue tit. Sounds painful. Oh…the bird. …sorry… That's nature in all it's grandeur bub. Things look good for you this year. Love the lupine. Thanx for posting bud.

  3. pak choi are more of a winter veg in my experience, if the temperature goes up over 17-18C, even if it is just for a couple of hours, they bolt, no matter how old or young the plant is. :-/ You probably had a milder afternoon, thats why it is happening.

  4. Oh poor blue tit, but that's good old nature – red in tooth and claw! Late spring/early summer here (Cornwall) has been very hot (39 degrees in greenhouse – no use for anything!) so that's what might have happened to the pak choi, not too hot but hot enough. Love those glorious lupins, they'd win at the Chelsea flower show (next year!)

  5. I suspect the others are right a out the heat and pak choi, but also they flower under lengthening days. So if you sowed them some time ago and then planted them two weeks ago, they could have been flowering as a reaction to that. Maybe combination. But yeah, sow late summer. Apparently if they’re protected they can go through the winter- slugs have always been a problem for mine though

  6. Good morning Adam. I do like the lupines. Poor blue tit but birds of prey need to eat too. Your garden is looking good already. I had about the same experience with the pak choi. No help here. Best wishes Bob.

  7. Hi Adam, I do like a plot tour. its the same on the allotment when your the only person their looking over the fence and seeing how your neighbours are doing. I think this dry warm weather does not help. I have noticed on all the plots Leeks have gone to seed. Take care Mike

  8. Hi Adam, it was interesting to see your row of swedes as they look quite well advanced. I remember the old gardeners telling me that June was the month to sow them to ensure a good germination. The cottage gardeners used to say that swedes were much better grown in the fields, especially if the land is stony. It was thought conditions in the garden are too soft for them. My own experience did tend to support that theory. I look forward to seeing how well your crop turns out.
