We took the opportunity in the fine weather to disperse all the plants that had overwintered in the polytunnel. It took a lot of work. A full load in the RTV and multiple wheelbarrow loads came out of there. Now I feel we can move around and things can grow happily in the space. There was a lot more in there than I thought. Of course, we promptly got two days of gale-force winds which have knocked over a good proportion of the plants we brought out. We were supposed to be launching and delivering our boat in the next few days but that has been postponed.
Vitis 'Vanessa' is doing great. She's growing vigorously. Can't wait to see the first grapes. Which reminds me, we still have not bottled our 2021 vintage and we need to do that right away. Have to put it on the calendar or it won't happen. There's always something.
I have most of the beds in the polytunnel planted. Here's the rotation plan. The stuff on the left is in the raised beds, the stuff on the right is either in pots or planted directly into the soil. I'll post a few pictures as stuff grows.
