Aled 363 Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 Nice one all. Carrots have done badly this year. French Beans have gone well, potatoes and beetroot have been good, Onions i would class as OK, but not wow. Some of tomatoes have at last started to redden, will be eating the first ones this week. Cheers. Aled Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 18,579 Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) Fairly good crop of Onions this year just strung up the ones from sets. Red Onions bit of a flop really pickled some they are so small, never pickled reds before. These the ones I grew from seed are to big to string with store in a Onion sack. Seed was planted in December in pots in the bay window. Biggest one 2lb 2oz. Did really well with spuds in tubs used second early "Nicola and Charlotte". Runners been good but struggling now with watering Carrots okay but 50% forking probably the dry weather, Beetroot good surprisingly, Leeks look okay but of rust on them Lettuce very good but really struggling now. Tomato's and Cucumbers very good but in the green house. Got problem with Runner beans now Bees and the look like honey Bees going to the back of the flowers making a hole and robbing the nectar without pollinating. Hose pipe ban soon had no rain now for six weeks maybe more every thing dry and burnt up. Fields are scorched sheep are in the hedges after green stuff they will have to start feeding soon.

Took the runner beans down yesterday got the last few feeds in the fridge. Will put garlic in that spot. You got no cabbage or purple sprouting mate?

Aled 363 Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 No sadly as i'm the only one in the house who will eat those, so not really worth the effort. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
