Spuds so far

Just an update on the spuds. The potatoes planted under leaf mulch showed before those under wood chips (probably the wood was slower in warming up) but all are looking good.

Leaf mulched potatoes are nearest

Maincrop Kiflis mulched with woodchip are nearest with celeriac in the foreground

Garlic Harvest

We struggle with white rot on our allotment and have yet to find an area that isn't affected to some degree.
Very dry conditions in April helped in holding it back this year but eventually the garlic started to show signs so it was a case of lift it or lose it. In the end 20% of the crop was affected which for us is quite low and leaves us with 138 bulbs of various sizes. Sounds a lot but taking into account small bulbs and cloves for next years seed it should be about right.
As an experiment one bed was split into three bands with compost mulch in the centre and wood chip at the ends. I can't say there was any noticeable differences in the crop.

Strawbs are starting

Elephant Garlic

Ellie garlic's doing well so far

Celeriac

Potting on celeriac in the greenhouse. 

Rhubarb and Frogitat

More of a general wildlife area really with plenty of hidey holes.

Mushroom

An unexpected bonus growing in the mulch. It's a Morel (morchella conica). Only the one but still nice to find.

Update on the tunnel, pleased with everything so far.
