Weather: Scorcio

Soaked some dwarf French beans, in case none of the direct sown ones come up at all ever.

Blueberry is in a bad way, leaves scorched, curling up and dropping, despite all attempts at ceaseless watering. It’s probably too hot a spot, as well as not enough good soil for a decent root run. Will attempt to stick it into a pot, now that the crop is probably lost anyway.

Weather: Sunny and warm

Sown carrots (Amsterdam sweetheart) into the big pot vacated by the potatoes. According to Bunny Guiness on Gardeners’ Question time, they work really well in pots, especially in big ones, as the carrot fly can’t fly that high.

Planted out the next batch of leeks. Pruned and trained the cherry.
