Spuds 2020

Growing potatoes under part rotted woodchips is working well. Finely cut chippings (including a fair amount of green content) are stored from the previous year and used to mound up the rows.

Lesser Stag Beetle

Since changing to no-dig we're noticing an increase in beetles. This lesser stag is a type of dung beetle.

Sourdough

 Made a loaf to go with tonight's meal. 

Fennel & Flowers

Garlic tied up

This years harvest tied together with fishing line so they can hang in the garage.

 

First Beetroot of the season

These Boltardy were multi-sown in modules March 2nd and germinated indoors before moving out to the unheated greenhouse.

Sadly a few cold nights have polished off the outdoor cukes (next row behind the beetroot) so they'll need to be re-sown.
