I have a huge patch of 20ft clumping bamboo and jute twine for later
Have you cut it already? Best to let the canes dry out first before you stick them in the ground...I have a huge patch of 20ft clumping bamboo and jute twine for later

Nah its been there decades. compared to a random stick I guess it will do for now tho while some dries?
It might rot if you stick it in the ground fresh. Do you know what variety of peas you planted? Some never grow very tall and they all generally prefer smaller stuff to cling to rather than twining round canes the way runner beans do. Random sticks is the traditional way to grow them

Thats a very good question, along with what can I get in the ground this week lol, have 8000 seeds ready to go and need to do a lot of shovelling. I have no expectations that helps, wondernig what happened to some of the corn and tomatoes now. Plus the Chard, labels washed off.

Winter radish? Daikon/Mooli are very growable now and stand until the first frost. Black Spanish is fully frost hardy.

Given the unexpected progress I have made with my house, I'm so glad that I managed to get some seeds sown and then things planted back in the spring...
That monster Joe Pye back left is being kept pumped-up by a dedicated water supply from my bath.
This absolutely has to be the last year.
Early next year I may find it worth paying someone to paint the front of the house and I will certainly have to take down the netting - I'm trying not to dwell on it, but I'm hoping to have sold it by this time next year - unless it turns out I have to rent it out for 12 months...

Yeh got these ready to go in once I build the beds. Have peas and 5 types of tomato to move. One more bed up and mostly filled, another double one almost ready to go.

Really thought about latish colour this year and it's worked.
Sowing Cosmos seeds indoors was a success and they've filled in all the gaps, but only one has flowered...the bright pink one. All the others have stems like small trunks and amazing foliage about 2/3 foot high...but no blooms.
Bloody Monty Don said 'nip off the top to make them bushy '. There's not even a sign of a bud. But they're very bushy. Hoping they're just going to knock my socks off in September.

My courgette / zucchini problem is nearly over ...
Along with the tomatoes, sweet peas and flowering tobacco...
It's the latter I'm most sad about - the bag garden tub is riddled with it and it's starting to show in the front garden
Last year they did amazingly well so long as I kept up with the watering.
I hope when I next grow nicotiana alata it will be a place where downy mildew isn't a problem...
