Grow Your Own / Re: What I did on the plot today 2024
« Last post by Ali T on Today at 14:50 »
Early visit to Plot 13 to beat the heat.... Made the first comfrey and nettle tea batches of the year, gave the asparagus and potatoes a seaweed feed and then weeded the whole plot before the little beggars get too big  :lol: After a couple of hot dry days the soil in the beds is looking dreadful, grey, dry and cracked plus full of stones. 2024 looks like the year I am mostly going to be putting in some serious work improving the soil in each bed!

Oh I am green with envy at your harvests! I only have to wait one more year.....  :tongue2:
Quick question for you guys - Some of my spears came up curly, I mean REALLY curly!  I read that this could be due to scraping against stones on the way up, and as my soil IS very stony, would it be worth VERY carefully excavating the soil around the crowns at the end of the season and sifting out any stones I find? then refilling around them with some decent topsoil? Thanks.

Serious harvest here in Hampshire too.
Enough for dinner and some into store for soup.
Had to squash some beetles though.

Alan Titchmarsh. He seems so down to earth, I feel I could really have a chat with him, rather than have to be careful what I was saying....

Grey overcast not as hot as it has been but feels very oppressive, it's been very stuffy since late yesterday.  It's supposed to break later today and I've just had a flood warning from Alexa.  :nowink:

Hmmm...

Mine would have to be a dinner party:

David Attenborough
Billy Connolly
Judy Dench
Nelson Mandela
Neil  Armstrong
Marie Curie

I'd like to be a fly on the wall,  just observing.

Ark Wildlife are good too - they do some specialist mixes.  https://www.arkwildlife.co.uk/  We like the ones without wheat in them, as only the pigeons seem to eat it.
