Decided to check my early Nantes carrots that are growing under a fleece covered frame (last piccy) to see if they needed thinning.

Got a nice shock! First piccy shows fresh pickings, including a few small fennel thinnings, and a handful of forked ones that look like something I found in outer space.

Second piccy shows them clean and ready for use, minus a few 'batch testers' !!

I'll be using this cover again since it seems to have worked a treat.

Wow - what a crop! And more to come I suspect. Great pics and a good harvest. Please tell me you fasten your fleece with velcro?

[The Doctor]

Alas, no, just plain old drawing pins I'm afraid!

[Flummery]

So, you can still stick around with drawing pins!

the first pic are my potatoes, that was taken about a wekk ago, today the whole tub is filled with leaves, will take a new pic soon hopefully.
second pic is of my courgettes, beans and radishes. all a bit taller now and courgettes are starting to grow their 4th leafs.
the third pic is of my bean seedlings I was keeping inside taken about 2 weeks ago. now living outside and have transplanted them into bigger pots, also much taller and have tied them to canes. will take new pics of them soon aswell.

will have pics of my watermelon seedlings soon hopefully, the computer is being annoying lol.

Another fish box grower Salina! I find them washed up on the East coast beaches and bring them back if they're in reasonable nick. There are some on my blog, with courgettes and cucumbers in.

[Salina]

Flummery, fish boxes are great aren't they? I only have one at the moment, had two but on got taken to the landfill without my permission lol.
They are great for growing little rows of lettuces in as well, and root veggies because they are so deep!
Hopefully I will find another one day at the beach lol.

1st & 2nd pics are the spuds.

Everything going great guns here with Vegmonkey, the radishes went nuts (excuse the pun) and we'll be eating this seasons baby broad beans and a cauliflower by the end of the week! yAYA!

Hi all,
not had too much luck with my veg. Cucumbers, cauliflower and sweetcorn all died on me and everything else is taking ages to grow.

i have 1 cabbage coming through, 4 peppers plants, this is the biggest of them. 2 strawberry plants only one has fruits on it and they are slowly turning red. 2 courgette plants, 3 french dwarf bean plants

[fraggle]

last but not least my pots, i used 2 crates that the council gave us for recycling and then decided that we should now use bags!!!! very econimical.
big enough for the pots, have 1 lot from seed from garden nursery and other pot is from supermarket,, chitted and planted and they seem to be doing ok, so fingers crossed

[Flummery]

You should get some good crops fraggle. Once you've tried your own stuff you'll never look back. Welcome to the grapevine - loads of free advice!

Hello Doctor, did you keep your carrots under fleece for their whole lives. Anybody else growing under fleece - even if just early and late ? Looking for ways to extend the season - early and late - using fleece. Maybe this should be a different thread.
