Grow Your Own / Re: Daily harvest 2024
« Last post by Odders on Today at 02:00 »
I've been getting 0.5kg of Cobra F1 beans for a couple of weeks now, plus Sungold tomatoes, plenty of chard, some broccoli & the odd (caterpillar chewed) cabbage.
One or two aubergines & some courgettes - should remember my camera...
Had a fine 'harvest' of seaweed off the shore on Monday, all crispy dry so it packed down well - just over 100kg, so that'll go in my compost bays over the next 6 months.

18°C mostly sunny & cloudless, a truly lovely late summer/early autumn day.
I could happily take a month of this.

Grow Your Own / Re: Cut potatoes back when flowering?
« Last post by Odders on Today at 01:49 »
All I ever do is nip off the flowers/buds when I see them, on the grounds they must use energy which could otherwise go into tubers.
I've absolutely no evidence it makes a difference, but after 50 years of doing so, I'll not stop now.

Grow Your Own / Re: The old plot

It’s striking how fast they go to wrack and ruin once not cultivated. Our local long timer left last autumn , he had two meticulous plots, one of them got taken over by someone who didn’t bother after a couple of visits. It’s now a jungle and infested with foxes who have dug dens all over, it’s actually dangerous to walk on it now

Grow Your Own / Re: Vanishing Borlotti Beans

Probably TMI but I recently ate borlotti beans saved from last year and boy were they tough to digest. Could not stop farting for a whole day afterwards.
