The 3 week "month", ;)
Posted by: Veggie - 25-11-2024, 04:51 PM - Replies (20)

I need inspiration and who better to ask than the brainy/nutty people here. Big Grin

As you know, I'm trying to garden, using a 3 week rotation plan - Wk 1 = Roots & Shoots; Wk 2 = Fruits & Wk 3 = Leaves. I'm getting ready for 2025 and some sort of diary/action plan is needed. Conventional diaries are in months of 4 weeks which doesn't adapt easily to my 3 week rotation.

I'm looking for a word to describe an interval of "3 weeks". There are 17 of these "3 weeks" in a year. The year starts on the first Monday and ends on the last Sunday. The odd days at the  end and beginning of the year are "rest" days. Big Grin

Needless to say, it doesn't have to be a "real" word. Wink Something like:-

Threeks
Trims
Triplans
Triplots
Trill
Trio
Tricks
Trickles

When do you know your sweetcorn is ready for picking? I’m starting to think it might be a bit late for it to get to fully ripe. I definitely have one cob on each plant but don’t know what signs to look for to say it’s really. 
I picked 4 big fat slug of the plants this morning. Even with all the defences I put in place.

  Pest ID please

I harboured the thought of putting up a picture of P, as the pest but thought better of it   Big Grin

Here's a picture from our local 'Nextdoor' website.  It says the insects are on a Norwegian spruce and elsewhere. I can't find anything on Google about aphids or weevils with a white bum. Can anyone shed any light what they are? Unfortunately I've no further information.
