Spuds ahoy

The second bed of spuds I planted (and didn't water with weedkiller apparently) fared much better than the first set. Two spud plants gave me a plantpot full which is what I got out of two six foot rows in the other bed. These are pink fir apples I think (well.. they're pink).



I also managed to rescue a handful of radishes from the slugs/rabbits who have been tucking into them like mad.

Tomatoes are coming along well too with plum, cherry, and big 'uns all looking like good chutney material.



The courgettes are doing less well with only one or two on each plant.


The garlic that flowered finally started shrivelling up so I dug it up to find individual bulbs, or very small clusters. Definately not as good as the first bed which at least formed recognisable bulbs. All of them are now in the coldframe drying as we haven't had a day without rain for ages.



And as per usual, several more barrow loads of weeds but the end is in sight with them now I've laid down some more woodchips and weed membrane to stop them coming back again a week later.
