terryd 8,520 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Great produce Jack I picked a load of runners today cleared a small cabbage patch off and replanted with spinach beet. The freezer is now jammed full and I mean jammed. Going to have to defrost the bait freezer in the shed and start filling that now Can take pictures at the moment as I lost my camera 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

forest of dean redneck 11,665 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Went up allotment yesterday,dug up row of spuds and half filled one of those plastic trug thingies (round one with 2 little handles) They were on small side I think due to the dry weather we had earlier. Small basket full of runner beans and several cabbages , And half dozen eggs Forgot to take photo though.lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,520 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Still picking runners good job we like them. Had runners yesterday and a nice portion of broad beans which I planted late also courgettes. Even got a squash I spotted but it might be too late for it to develop much. Down to my last first early spuds then it is on to the desiree'sreds which I am looking forward to trying. The few sprout plants I have are doing well and the purple sprouting broccoli over all is looking good. Some nibbling going on even under the scaffold netting but I can never find any thing on them. Mostly a couple around the edge. Will get some pictures up once the camera arrives from ebay 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
just jack 998 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 dug the last of the valour up but we got quite a bit of waist with holes due to the slugs still got 2 sacs mind http://s575.photobucket.com/user/jackoleeds/media/jacks3110_zps1a4e160e.jpg.html?sort=3&o=15 leeks and toms doing ok but its just about done, also the spring cabbage will be going in the ground in a wk or 2 when i get them out of the bath Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,520 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) Better than my spuds jack I dug up some of my desiree today only handful off each plant and most them full of holes but in there defence they went in very late only had 13,14 weeks. Brocolli is looking great thought sprouts seem happy row of new spuds in for christmas time not sure if I hold out much hope for me little squash swedes are battered but still healthly leeks so far so good and have two more patches following on Edited September 7, 2013 by terryd 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
