At the moment im busy weeding and picking strawberries there are so many i went back today to pick some but the sky went very dark and i heard a rumble so just ran to the car with what i had .... when i got home i weighed them another 2lb thats 8lb in total and may more to come yet!!
One of the other plot holders gave me some netting that was wider than i have and sturdier he told me he would bring it when i saw him on tuesday ,so i was quite suprised when i saw it on my strawberries today :)
Everything needs weeding nettles are growing everywhere they are only small but they grow so quickly i really need more time to sort it all out.
Some of my potatoes have had blackleg which turns the stems black and rots them ive found 3 plants so far .... and on tuesday the starting of blight on some leaves :( i knew it would come its been the perfect conditions for it, at the moment everthing is ok
courgettes ,pumpkins ,butternut squash are so far behind compared to last year but they seem to be growing nicely now we have had a bit of sun
The peas are almost ready i grew them in different stages so some wont be ready for a while yet
Runner beans finally have some flowers but they arent as bushy as they usually are i hope they will be ok
had problems with brocolli and cauliflower they have produced head way to early im not the only one with this problem
Tiny heads they shouldnt be ready for a few weeks yet im glad i only grew 1 at this stage the others in the row are much further behind
This year is proving to be very challenging for growing veg i'll be doing a big photo update soon
Managed to get some planting done today i found some in my greenhouse that were ready i put in 3 cauliflowers and 2 savoy cabbages ready for winter harvest and 2 calabrese. I did take down some winter king cabbages but because of the stormy looking sky i ended up bringing them back home again!!
