Harvesting the broccoli left me with a section of raised bed with space for new plants. This morning I was wondering what I could sow, but then I remembered that I had half a dozen summer purple sprouting broccoli (wok brocc) plants in the Grow Dome.

I have duly planted them out, given them stakes (it's windy) and cabbage root fly collars and surrounded them with organic slug pellets.

I also have some early purple sprouting plants, but they will have to stay in the Grow Dome for the time being.

While I was pottering about in the Grow Dome I made an unpleasant discovery - the nectarine is absolutely festooned with spider mite webs. This is entirely my fault. I noticed the webs a couple of weeks ago, but assumed they came from one of the baby spiders which is growing up in there. I have sprayed the tree with seaweed solution (which, if nothing else, will give it a bit of a feed and raise the humidity) and ordered a biological control. I've used the one for vine weevils, but I've never tried the red spider mite one.
