More November gardening

This afternoon I sowed 10 Climbing Bean (vitalis) clumps of seeds against the existing climbing F72 fabric trellis. Also sowed 14 Sweet Corn clumps of seeds. Sowed 8 Cucumber clumps of seeds. I watered the Sweet Corn and Cucumber seeds in except the Climbing beans as the soil was moist. The rain in the next few days will sought that out.

It is supposed to rain again mid/late next week. In the last 24 hours it rained 29mm (116 points). So the ground is rather soft. So yes I did some more weeding in the vegetable garden and now have about one fifth remaining to do.

Other things in the garden, the Tomatoes will need staking, One Zuchini is dead (leaving three remaining), the Coriander is seeding, the Lettuce I planted has come through and growing well, the Potatoes are starting to break through except the Sweet Potatoes. The garden almost weed free and now looking really good.

See new pictures below of what the vegie patch looks like today. The first shows the beans sowed up against the steel mesh and in the middle of the picture shows where the sweet corn bed is. The second picture shows just prior to backfillijng the cucumber seeds (on the left side against the boundary fence). The third picture illustrates a broad view of the vegetable patch with the tomatoes in the background and where the orange carrots were (now removed and soil turned over ready for new crop). The last picture shows the other side of the garden with garlic, onions and asparagus etc.
