Planting out and pulling up

 9 March 2021

The weather has become very pleasant, and our exotic little choco /chayote vines are over two metres tall, so we decided to take the plunge and plant them out a month earlier than Costas advised.

We thought we could use them to cover the water tanks, as the vines are failing to do very much, so Dave planted them: one at each end and one in the middle.

They look very nice already.

Meanwhile, I started work weeding the moringa beds.  The top one, to start, as I was hoping to find some strawberry plants that hadn’t been eaten alive by grass.

I found a few, and some broke and came up with the grasses.  When I separated them out there were quite a few new baby plants, so I reinstalled them and hope they haven’t been too traumatised.

The bare earth patch is the cleared strawberry field. (A little bit of Liverpool!)

And now with weeded and cardboarded path.

When picking a little rocket for lunch is more akin to big game hunting ...!
