And there's another thing

I forgot to say actually, I mixed up some foliar feed for the cucumbers, see previous posts regarding the cucumber issues. We'll see how this works out. As it happens I picked 2 cucumbers which are perfectly ripened, so I'm not too worried about the plant itself. Having quizzed Mairead about all this she looked upon our cucs as a roaring success adding that they are usually difficult plants to grow. Not so on plot 10!
Once the nutterbut squashes were in the ground I immediately watered them in with Epsom salts, a magnesium feed. As you can see, yellow spots are appearing on the leaves so I'll give the Epsom a go.
And lastly I did spend a few minutes trying to encourage the beans to climb the wig-wam. Hopefully the selection of ties that Roy brought us should do the trick!
