Today I Mostly Harvested......

[sewer rat]

3 cauliflowers, 1 savoy cabbage, a carrier bag of calabrese side shoots, a dozen courgettes, 10 punnets of strawberries and two mini cukes and 1 normal size cuke. I could have harvested three times as many strawbs but it was tipping it down and I was fed up with rain running down my neck! Will try again tomorrow night!

It helps when you have two strawb beds that between then have over 600 plants. (not including any runners that were missed and have rooted i themselves into the beds.)

600 I think I need to work on that.........We inherited a strawberry bed on the new lottie but it's a bit of a mess. But I have a few plants (Elan) that I got reduced last year and they are now flowering for the second time this summer ( and look better as well ) , best start taking some runners then ........

I started with 60 plants in hanging baskets and just took air runners from them - it was so successful I had my outside beds filled within two years.

Enough french beans (yellow - Rocquencourt) for dinner, 6 beetroot (Chioggia & Touchstone Gold) - with a roast chicken (not home-grown!) and Orla potatoes (harvested earlier)
wonderful

Yet more broad beans, (Imperial Green Longpod) courgettes, (Defender and Soleil) salads, first few french beans (Cobra and Allegri) peas (Hurst Green Shaft - just a taste from children's plot)

Sieved all remaining compost from old bin and turned new bin - lots of that very well rotted indeed and very good. The nettle clippings seem to have gone down beautifully, as has the kitchen waste, including citrus peal etc. Think mixing in the household's loo roll ration may have made the difference.

Planted another couple of rows of Kings Salad mix, replaced PSB casulaties ( 1 of 9 prob caused by fleece over?) with spares. One spare was traditional late sprouting, other was either Claret or Rudolph - not sure which.

Lots of watering of tomatos, cucumbers, soft fruit, courgettes, potatos under black plastic and in potato bag all helped by Eve

Harvested the first yellow beans today (all six of them lol) some fennel, carrots, mint and four sticks of rhubarb today, I have spuds from the lottie... dinner is going to be a feast! Well, if I get round to preparing it that is!I munched on mangetout and blueberries as I weeded too yum.

Broad beans! Lots of broad beans! Even more broad beans! And kale, lettuce, rocket, oriental mustards, shallots and red onions. That was over the weekend - stuck in the office today looking at the beautiful sunshine.
