Memory Lane, August 2023: Cabbage for everyone
Later in the year I picked an even heavier one, but at the time this was a record for me…
No dig diary, 14th May 2024: Berries behind bars
Last year our currants and gooseberries produced a reasonable amount of fruit, but we got to eat almost none of it: the deer and the birds ate almost everything as soon as it approached being ripe. So, this year we … Continue reading

I actually sowed some seeds today! That was all I did in the garden, mind. The veggie plot itself is a complete horrorshow because of the mud. So, into module trays went some early calabrese, “normal” calabrese, red cabbage and … Continue reading

Sowing day again! Not that much this weekend though: calabrese, red cabbage, more antirrhinums and more ammi majus. The rain has reached quite depressing levels here. I think we’ve had at least double the long-term average rainfall for February, even … Continue reading

Very busy day today, kicking off early doors with the builder coming over to replace the roof tile that went AWOL during the storms. He left with a box full of swede, cabbage, parsnips, sprouts and leeks so I think … Continue reading

Evidence of what I believe is damage by deer in the veggie plot… These swedes look as though something heavy has laid down in the bed and crushed the leaves. And my red chard has been eaten down to the … Continue reading

Things seem to have slowed down in the veggie plot a bit, partly because I was ill for the best part of a week, but also because there doesn’t seem to be much to do. Many of the plants I … Continue reading

It’s not been the easiest of days out in the veg plot today, with frequent, often torrential, rain showers. Overnight the slugs ate half a dozen of the calabrese and cabbages I planted out yesterday 🙁 I’ve replaced them and … Continue reading

Had to dodge the rain showers today, but I managed to get some more calabrese and early cabbage planted out. It’s still under fleece because of the weather. That was all there was time for really. At least they didn’t … Continue reading

I managed to get some cabbages planted today before the rain set in with a vengeance, and to remove the last few radishes from my first batch sown in February where they’d got too big and gone soft, because we … Continue reading
