Memory Lane, 23rd February 2023: Winter salads are still going
Straight from the polytunnel. Not quite as much as we’d like perhaps, but it’s just enough for three people and it’s lovely to be eating something so fresh and colourful at this time of the year.
Memory Lane, 21st December 2022: Winter salads
Winter salads in the melon house and polytunnel, looking pretty healthy. With a bit of luck these should keep us going until Spring when we have salads growing out in the main plot once again.
No dig diary, 8th April 2024
I last weeded the big polytunnel and the greenhouses in January and today decided it was time to do them again, removing the Winter salads that are already starting to flower at the same time — the leaves become tough … Continue reading
Memory Lane, 12th November 2022: This really is the last of the peppers
Today I picked everything that was left in the polytunnel, regardless of whether it was ripe or not. Nothing much useful is going to happen from this point on, so leaving them will just mean they start rotting. Some gorgeous … Continue reading
Memory Lane, 4th November 2022: Getting a bit chile
I know it’s not many, but this makes me so happy. We eat so many pickled jalapenos. These might only last three or four months. But having them out of our own garden rather than bought from a supermarket feels … Continue reading
Memory Lane, 30th October 2022: Yes, we have no tomatoes
We’ve reached that point. I decided that what tomatoes there are aren’t going to ripen any further on the vines, so I picked absolutely everything. and then removed all the plants from the polytunnel. I’d missed spreading compost on the … Continue reading
Memory Lane, 26th October 2022: Is this the last of the peppers?
I’m really not sure, to be honest. It’s not the last of the fruit on the plants and the weather is still very mild, so it may well be that they aren’t. We’ll just have to wait and see if … Continue reading
Memory Lane, 18th October 2022
Harvesting peppers today. Gorgeous selection of colours. Still a few more to come, perhaps, if the weather is good enough for them to ripen.
Memory Lane, 8th October 2022: Getting a bit chile
The weather is definitely starting to feel autumnal now and it’s time to harvest what I can from the polytunnel as and when it’s available. So these may be the last of the cayenne peppers, or if it’s mild I … Continue reading
Memory Lane, 1st September 2022: Tomatotastic, mate!
Time to pick all the ripe tomatoes so those left on the vines have some change of getting ripe before the days become too short and cold. Apero F1: I think these are something like “Limoncello”, but I’m not sure. … Continue reading
