Having asked for and taken on board the recommendations of several
urglers here, I finally settled on Estima, Kestrel and Charlotte.
I doubted if I would be able to get them all at the gc, but very
pleased to say I've managed to get them all:~).

All I want now is some reasonable weather so they don't get frosted.
Asking a lot, I know. I shall be chitting them first, as usual, which
well delay them getting into the garden. Probably just as well.

Desperately hoping I'm not too far ahead of myself:~/
How are other urglers proceeding, please?


We have ordered some from T & M, 3 Sarpo varieties which unsurprisingly
still haven't arrived!!
Bought some Apache from a GC.
and got some at the Hampshire Potato Day...
Rocket
Amandine
Kestrel
Rooster



Goodness! You've taken a lot on, Bob. I assume these are for your
allotment rather than your house garden.

I'll be particularly interested in how you get on with your Kestrel,
since I'm growing those too, but a general report at the end of the
season would be great. I imagine you're also growing on London Clay?
Let's hope we don't get a summer of blight, floods and grizzly gastropods.
