And the garlic harvest is in! Good sized bulbs, despite the rust. Seventeen are I think the over wintered Thermidrome, the small one is I think a biennial from last year. I pulled up a shallot to see how they were going too – not too bad, edible but still a bit small. They are showing signs of rust too now so I’ll keep an eye on them.
I had some spare sets last year so chucked them in a pot – not bad, much smaller, some unsplit, but it’s all food!
In other news, things are going well – the bag potatoes are happy, and I just found a muncher, which is always good:
Going to throw him over the fence now.
Tomatoes finally taking off, albeit very few flowers yet.
And the cucumber seedlings I sowed last weekend are almost all up. Slugs got all but one cucumber plant at the lottie. Slugs have also killed 2.5 of my 3 courgettes, and 2 of my 3 squash so I need to sow more of those too. Not a good year for the slimy ones! I treated the plot and the potato bags with nematodes last weekend so fingers crossed my plants start winning…
