Potatogate!!

Haunches for potatoes done, Pentland Javelin, Shetland Black and International Kidney Potatoes are now in.

Finally finished off new gate for the allotment too.

Purple Calabash

Look what arrived in the post today......

Its a rather sorry looking Purple Calabash tomato plant. I'm hoping its going to pick up as it was very droopy.

This is what the fruit should look like, so finger crossed. I chose it specifically for its ugliness.

Wind Damage

Not much to report other than some disappointing news. Sunday brought some high winds to the plot which brought down the staging in the polytunnel, today was inspection day. Luckily the cover wasn't ripped, but I've lost my leek seedlings and spring onions.  I don't know finally the snow and frosts pass and we're hit with gale force winds.

Potting Up

Chard was looking like it needed a bit more attention, so they have been re- are now in their new pots.

Tomatoes - Craigella, Rambling Red Stripe and Black Russian

all now planted up in greenhouse.
