Grow Your Own / Re: Asparagus Watch!
« Last post by Ali T on Today at 18:28 »
Hurrah! Happy to confirm that either the rat/slug deterrent activities have worked OR the Plot 13 Asparagus was just a bit lazy and is now properly woken up - spears as thick as my fingers are popping up from all 5 crowns - Yay!!!!
They only went in last year so I wont be taking a harvest yet, but its just so great to see them!

Grow Your Own / Re: What I did on the plot today 2024
« Last post by Ali T on Today at 18:22 »
Went to the plot on Monday but forgot to post about it! Went there to earth up the potatoes - Pentland Javelin, Charlotte and Kestrel all in there now and popping up well. Sowed another few rows of root veg (Turnips, some chitted Parsnips, Carrots and some rows of spring onions between to deter pests! Had a good weed around the beds, planted out some tough little Tagetes 'Tangerine Gem' I think they are - full marigold scent but the slugs tend to avoid them, so I'm popping them in between crops. Finally, as the council had dropped off another load of quite nice wood chippings (not too musty) I took the opportunity to patch up some of the paths that were looking a bit tatty.
OH! Best news of all - THE ASPARAGUS IS SHOWING! Yay!!!

Bacon, courgette, pasta bake is the politest thing I can call it.  Trying to clear out the fridge as it needs defrosting.

Sea mist first thing which burnt off late morning and a lot brighter this afternoon.  Just been into Sandown and there are children in swimming costumes and towels wrapped round them and I've got a t-shirt, jumper and coat on!  Must be an age thing (or so I hope).
