July 2017
Phew – just about caught up with my exploits so far, albeit with pretty sketchy comments. Things will get better!
July – a month of picking for now and planting for the future.
My first potato reveal
And my second – with commentary in the future!
Shallots went from this —
To this
Hytech Onions – nearly there
Red Baron Onions – nearly there. Had one last night in my Spaghetti n Meatballs – lush!! Certainly worth growing next year
Giant cabbage on the left – about 1 metre across. Picked the small cauli this morning for tonight’s roast chicken dinner
Corns doing well – soil treated with Nemaslug yesterday. Giant marrow photobombing!
And this is the view I get every time I visit the plot – who wouldn’t want to go there?
Peas picked, eaten, blanched and frozen as required
Big onions doing well
Says it all!
Tumbler Toms – incredible pickings this year!
Runner bean Enorma Elite
Spring Onions galore! Succession planting works.
Celery on the right thrown away, too bitter for me.
Eco Garden – need to balance the plantings, too top heavy = fall over! Clay pots trying to offset the huge tomato crop.
More rhubarb
Corn
Kale etc
Bean Bed
Giant Russian Marrow
