terryd 8,114 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Nice one john I had 4 spears last week too. It is starting to take off now but we are away for a week so I hope it don't go too mad. My plot neighbour has been blasting his plot with weedkiller so hopefully all my stuff will be alive when I get back. All my spuds were coming through nice and green so if I get back and they are dead I will know why Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terryd 8,114 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Got back today first thing pick the ferrets up next straight down the allotment. Spuds are motoring now had covered them while away in case of a frost but I think we are in the clear now and they are big enough to be ok any way This years planted broadbeans and on the the right my third lot of peas that has been stuffed by mice,voles. They are laying around on the surface even though I buried the edges of the net. Going to soak in paraffin next and try that for next attempt autumn sown beans hanging in there asparagus had run riot while away we had the tough old lower bits for tea took some chewing tender tops with the roast tomorrow toms black krim ethel watkins and money maker chilli plant doing well but can't see the sweet potato slips making it into the garden but no great loss 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
