All the Cedrico tomatoes are now planted into final positions and the stump carrots are doing well tucked up under fleece. They are under there for 2 reasons. Firstly, to keep carrot fly off and secondly, the sun gets very strong in there and the fleece protects them a bit because they are still only seedlings.
My Toughball onions are doing well in my homemade compost. I`m not planning on putting any fertilizer on these because the compost was so good in all aspects including N P and K and aslo trace elements. It will be interesting to see how they do.
I also sowed parsnips yesterday. Really late I know but the weather has been so cold I didn`t see the point up until now. Hopefully they won`t be as monstrous as usual !
Last years garlic whuch I saved and planted again looks fantastic. I hope it`s as good as the last lot. All the signs say it will be !
This morning I sowed some cucumber and giant marrow. I`m planting some seeds I got from Peter Glazebrook and some of my own saved seed. Hoping for a better result than last year (which was crap)
I managed to get most of the maincrop potaoes in the ground this week. I planted Kestrel which I leave in as a maincrop although they are really second earlies. They do really well on my plot so I grow them every year. I still have some Bluebelle and Amour to plant this week.
