No dig diary, October 11th 2021

I managed to plant garlic from the four bulbs I saved from this year’s harvest. I’ve done two bulbs in the main plot and two in the polytunnel again, but this time in the polytunnel I’ve done them as a single row behind all the lettuces which should mean that they won’t be in the way when I come to remove the lettuces and plant out the next crops in the spring.

The tomato plants seem to be dropping fruit quite regularly now and the blight is spreading, the latter probably as a result of the weather being quite warm during the day despite getting down to below 3.5°C last night, so I’m contemplating harvesting all the ripe fruit this weekend to make sure we don’t lose it. What we don’t keep for salads can be roasted and made into pasta or pizza sauce.
