Ok got some jobs done this last week despite the high temperatures (31C one day!). Dug up the last of the AGATA potatoes. I have been pleased with this variety and now eargerly wait to see what the DOLWEEN Brittany potatoes produce. Tied up tomatoes which are starting to recover from the hail storm the other week. The last of the tomato plants have been planted out. These may be more of a hope than anything and may not have time to reach maturity. One never knows!
Having a grand old time with new ride on mower. Lots of grass cutting done and I have even managed to mow a small field! (the proper term is topping). More lettuce transplanted along with the remain three replacement Marketmore cucumbers. Again these might produce something. I have had to cover up my swedes as the chickens have taken a fancy to them and destroyed a row. That bed is one of the chickens favourite dust bath areas. I have harvested the banana shallots as the leaves were pretty much dead and I need the bed for winter leeks. A resonable crop, just about three and a halve kilos of shallots. The Giant Pacific pumpkins are spreading over the garden and there are a number of pumkings set. Hopefully they will grow big!
On the chicken front Mrs Buffycross is sitting tight despite the hot weather. Her previous brood are growing fast especially the coqs of which there are four. They are over eight weeks old.
