Late Night Allotmenting
Got home just before 10, having planted 27 kale, 4 portugese cabbages and 3
of the 15 tomato plants on the allotment. Then I got mosquitoed off the place. :-( All the brassicas are weed-blanketted and fleeced for butterfly + pigeon protection, though. Nick watned to use netting, but I figured the butterflies would just go straight through. Of course, the fleece will probably go on the first strong wind - it's off the sweet potatoes again already! Onions are all coming up, and broad beans came up at the weekend ... got sprouts and butternut squash to go in, plus a load of leeks. It's all very exciting! -- |

I'm a bit confused about the timings here. Are you in the UK or was this originally posted a couple of months ago? -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |

I'm in the UK, but I may have used "coming up" in an ambiguous way there - I mean harvested rather than starting to appear! :-) Everything else is in the "transplant out from greenhouse to allotment" stage - probably a touch later than originally planned, but can only put things out as we take up other things to make room. |
