Weeded for ages, I've neglected that a little bit so paying the price now. Dug up all of the Spinach which had all gone to seed as usual, no point trying to salvage it I've had enough. Mrs wont be happy but not much I can do. Perhaps plant some perpetual under my runners and see what happens...
Harvested alot of new potato's as the slugs are really taking a liking to them now. The foliage has completely died back, frost speeded this up. Need to harvest the remaining half a row quite quickly before moving to my second earlies. I am going to replace half the row with Leeks and the other half with Christmas potato's. Well in fact they are main crop's but I'm going to plant them now and cover them as advised by the dad-in-law. Not much else to put in that space so worth a go.
Also harvested early carrots, calabrese, broad beans.
Swede's growing well although I wish I'd started them in roottrainers as I normally do. They have all germinated and thinning them out is a real pain.
Cabbage have been gotten by the slugs but seem to be growing ok.
Sprouts and in particular the calabrese are starting to get eaten by caterpillars. Spent half an hour checking the leaves and squashing eggs and removing 1/2 inch long caterpillars.
Runners looked weak so fed with a soluble general purpose feed.
Planted some beetroot.
Kale is growing well, next visit down I'll net this.
Next job is to put some more carrots in.
