I think gardeners forget that growing organic veg if we were to buy it is a significant saving not to mention the freshness & obviously the superb taste. Even on a small patch of land or in pots is well worth giving it a try. Can’t beat your own veg picked & eaten the same day 🤩
I had a pile of 2-3 inch copper pipe that I sat the spud buckets on to see if it deferred the slugs and there was next to zero leaf damage With those spud plants.
Such a shame you let them go so far.The ones you left me l have just had an early tea.The cauliflower, broccoli and potatoes were very tasty.I will have some more tomorrow.❤
Excellent crop of spuds there Tony I thought you wouldn't get as many as you did due to weather , pity about the collies but like you say can still use them ,well done mate look forward to seeing other spud revil cheers.
Must add the spuds picked from your plot are superior to the ones from supermarkets. I buy Maris piper & Albert Bartlett from the shops but when I pick my own they are far better
I only have 2 large pots of Charlotts, I pulled one today and got a decent crop. I had some for my tea and I gave a handful to my next door neighbour for his tea, because I like to share what I can with him, he'll enjoy them, I washed off a couple for me and the skins just rubbed off with my finger. I'll leave the other pot a couple of weeks, that should double the size of them in comparison to today. I'll grow Charlotts every year if I can, I bought a bag of seed last year and saved some for this year in the fridge. I might have to get some more seed from Mahers next time. Have you ever grown International Kidney?
I’m trying to pick veg early Can’t always do that of course we lose sometimes. My gooseberries & most of my blackcurrants fed the local birds 🫣. My timing was off 🤦♀️. Hey ho 🤩
