The onions needed tying back as they were flopping over and covering the lettuce. This was simple job of adding some small canes and string around the onion bed.
Chris had the more laborious task of trying to train the Black Forest Courgettes up the pea netting. We bought this variety because it was a trailing variety. Its unique climbing habit, is supposed to save space. Courgette Black Forest's climbing habit, needs supporting and tying. Stems can be trained and tied to a trellis, stout cane, or netting. However up until now we have neglected to allow it to train UP and let it spew out over everything else. We have now teased the main growing stem up and hope that it will now live up to its name.
