Arry 18,521 Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Well decided Runners are over getting a bit stringy, just hate it when your enjoying a nice pile of beans and you get a stringy one in amongst. I do snap them but still the odd one. So started to take them down and compost came across these two, one seems to be very fond of the other. you can see the black army in the back ground had a bit of trouble with them this year.

Arry 18,521 Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Well leeks looking okay, but had one that just seem to go up. It was twice the height of the other with a smaller circumstances, must an odd seed that got in there some how. Thought maybe it was one that was going to bolt, but on cutting it was okay.

jok 3,035 Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Well guys. Don't want to piss on your chips but I reckon we have a serious problem. If I'm reading it correctly, we will be housebound within 24 hours. Now my allotment is about 7 miles away and at the moment all I have in are 3 rows of first earlies. Like most of you I am 2 weeks before planting the normal crops. If you've read the news, Lincoln farmers, using 98% imported labour, who are no longer getting supplemented wages, are in the shite. Now then, we can't get to plant and they can't crop so essentially the cost of eating will clearly go through the roof. If I was you, which I am, rows of potatoes , no matter the risk of frost are going in during the next couple of days. Forget all your winter crops as they just ain't going to happen. IMO. If you have a house garden then all good but best get on with it. ATB. Jok. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
