Last of this years toms

 Mountain Magic tomatoes are looking tired but still hanging in there. Frosts are forecast for the next couple of nights so these will be harvested today.

 

Late Season Fennel

 Sown Aug 31st into modules

Garlic Planted

 100 self saved cloves (only the fattest cloves are used for planting) - set out in position, just waiting to be dropped into dibbered holes.

Speckled Bush Cricket

Katrin Carrots And Root Fly

For the last three years we've grown Katrin and Nantes carrots. Interestingly Katrin have been consistently less susceptible to carrot root fly - these haven't been covered during any stage of growth. Nantes in the next row (not pictured) were affected.

 Lettuce Lolla Rossa and Radicchio Palla Rossa. Both need to be out soon as this bed's earmarked for garlic.
