Veg-Trug update - End of August

 The Veg-Trug has been great growing for a fine selection of salad leaves this year . Lettuce , Spring onions , Coriander and Dill  .

I,ve managed to keep it going since Feb/March and another sowing of seeds , a week or two ago , are beginning to germinate .
 All of these prefer it to be cooler or else they will bolt  . Lettuce will not germinate at all if it is hot .

 So the trick is to keep everything cool and well watered during these hot end of August days . I,m using environmesh to keep it just slightly shaded from the fierce rays of the sun .
  We have enjoyed lots of good salads and wraps from the Veg-Trug.....and it is a nice  easy height to work with . I,m a bit worried that it will be difficult to empty and refill with fresh compost....hmmmm......we'll cross that  bridge when we come to it .

                                               Have a great week all !
