The weather’s a bit like the curate’s egg – good in parts! Getting on with things when the weather permits, some of the highlights.

Well done with the Calabrese, John, it looks lovely :) Mine is outside and looks ok, but obviously, nowhere near a harvest yet, sad to say - but it's called Autumn Green for a reason :D
-
yes a have to agree full marks to that Gentleman for a good crop of calabrese I just hope ours does as well as John's what a picture all that lovely grub :D

Greatly helped by them sitting on a load of sheep muck, which I had huge amounts of when the chap across the road cleared his lambing sheds. Leafy brassicas seem to love very manure rich soil. Must admit they've done better than I expected.
-
That spent litter from the lambing sheds must be such a boon.
You are going to get a good rich depth of soil applying that on a regular basis :)

That mountain of muck he delivered has transformed the soil - really added body and structure. Worm population has increased as well. What a job moving it was, though!
Unfortunately he likes to spread the love around, maybe next year we'll get another load but no certainty.
