So the weather continues to be on the cool side with rain showers. There has been a couple of nice days but the weather favours the garden! I have been hampered by pulling a muscle in my lower back while digging up potatoes. Sure is hard to get out of the chair!
ANOE potatoes dug, picked peas and mangetout, pulled a lettuce and cut cabbage. Had to cut nine heads of cabbage as they had split. They will be fine stored in the cool . Dug up my lets put it in and see Violet garlic and a usuable crop has resulted. In a last ditch effort I have sown Champion Red Swede, Sangiuna beetroot, and early purple sprouting seed in an outside bed. Who knows they may do something! More Touchon carrots sown (they have done particulaly well this year) and more Great Lakes lettuce. As is normal this time of year went round the tomato plants tieing up and removing shoots. The plants are looking good and tomatoes have set. Of course, grass mowed. The battle against the dreaded Colorado beetle continues with adult beetles, larvae and eggs squished when spotted. As I write, famous last words, the amount of beetles etc currently is not high.
On the chicken front one chick has been lost. Found dead where the hen and chicks were overnight. Egg production is still on the low side with an average of 2.7 eggs per day, same as last week.
