Just had the funniest vegatable day ever today.
Since January this year my husband has been frantically sowing seeds nuturing young plants and scrupriously labeling everything
My beautiful 2year old son, in one afternoon went into the greenhouse and removed all the labels to all the plants,husband was away at the time and he could not remember what went where as we were growing over 40 different products!!
So everything has gone on the plot and we prayed that we would do ok and have some exciting surprises!
Well we have not done to bad all the brassicas are together, even though we are not sure what they are(definatley a cauliflower, head formed over the weekend 1 down 35 to go).
The angel child goes to nursery 2 days a week from 8am-1pm and it just so happens that our allotment is at the other end of the playing fields and we have butties and coffee on the plot watching our newt squatters in the little pond and our leeks maturing over beds of straw.
Well today we pulled up our leeks! as the tops had gone brown and were starting go droop.
they are not leeks they are garlic bulbs not 1 or 2 but 30 and the car stank all day as we were out after nursery had finished
I have just been trimming the garlic to hang and have just discovered that i not only have RUST on some leaves but also LEEK MOTH
I want to feel angry but as my middle daughter was sat there fascinated with these little caterpillars all i could do was laugh and think of telling you all, that no matter what bug pest disease each plant gets it is ok.
i can think of nothing better i would want to do than sit with my husband watching birds bugs newts (bloody butterflies) in this beautiful weather all for less than a night out.
Hope you are all well and enjoy your time with your plants and families
