No viking rampages today, I went on a poisonous rampage in the garden instead. All the naughty grass that has snuck its way through the cardboard in the garden beds has now been sprayed. The worst bindii infested patch of naturestrip has had selective poison put on it, and the worst of the broadleaf weeds there have been sprayed too.
I was happy to see the climbing bean seeds I thought had failed have now sprouted. Some of the tomato plants didnât cope with the hot days and have died, but I have a few more seedlings that are still ok to replace them with and all the cherry tomatoes look to have made it. It doesnât look like any of the cucumber seeds have managed to sprout though, so I donât think Iâm getting any of those this year.

Got any tomatillos? ours have wild seeded all over the place. Ranging from small seedlings peeking out their heads at the front to a fuckinâ 2 foot bush out the back already punching out calyxes

The main things self seeding here are bindii and mallow.
Iâve never actually grown or even used tomatillos. In my last place I did have wild seeded cherry tomatoes, plus a few things like parsnips, parsley, lettuce and bok choy. By the time I have enough plants built up to do that here Iâll probably be moving again, hopefully to my own place where I can keep the garden long term and get the benefit from that sort of thing.
