Hi,

Got 8 rows of tatties in, spinach, carrots, swede and leeks. Strawberries coming along and blackcurrant.

I'm really looking forward to new tatties and butter :-)

Planted some spinach, spring onions, iceberg, radish, little gem and rocket in the poly you can literally watch it grow

 

bloody pristine setup that going well better than my slap dash efforts. Only tonight I raised the netting on a row of peas and as I took the last bit off the whole row fell over like a set of dominos. I had some how forgot to support them and didn't realise it was the netting holding them up Managed to cobble them back upright

planter looks to be doing well. Handy for lettuce too

Know what. Never been so pleased when I went down there after 5 days. It looks amazing and everything as should be. Dug new tats for Sunday dinner with new carrots and broad beans. Lettuce for next door neighbour. Makes it an absolute pleasure to have an allotment.

sowed a row of parsley and swede today

 

 

found out what the tree at the end of my plot is seems to be a plum apparently

 

 

a lot of dead branches on it though so not happy about some thing. I have neglected it mind as I thought it was ornamental so I will weed it and give some manure maybe

put in some more peas and dwarf beans

 

started on the kestrel now so some cracking chips for tea

 

these gave up the ghost so yanked them out today

 

 

then saw why poxy club root the bane of my life

 

tart or jam undecided

 

superb lettuce this year

 

they all come at once though I have planted more at different times

 

peas going great

black bagged it for the refuse

I tried washing liquid for it but the plants didn't do well and only a couple survived though that could have been any thing. I did stick loads of lime around them last year that helped a bit but still hit and miss.

I hear some folks use mole hill soil and basically plant in that

[terryd 8,697]

good read for my issue here http://www.allotment-garden.org/vegetable/grow-brassica-clubroot.php I may whack that load of manure on let it rot for few months then lime

I've filled all my tubs and bags with Appachee second early potatoes they have been all earthed up and the shawls are at least three foot clear of the tubs , I'm hoping there's a good few potatoes there and there no all shawls but the flowers are just coming so I suppose in about a fortnight I will find out LOL

Good man. It's a bit like Islam. Spreads like fcuk.

[jok 3,375]

Terry. Keep the plot weed free. Are they having a giraffe

[terryd 8,697]

I will be trying the rhubarb stem in the hole trick as well its quite fun finding ways around these problems. I see there are a few varieties of club root resistant seeds so I will try them next year too
