We have Veggie's weekly aspirational list which some of us remember to update, but if you work on a daily rather than a weekly basis, tell us what you have achieved today, it need not be growing related of course.

To start us off:

I've finished planting out the greenhouse with tomatoes and cucumbers,  continued planting CFBs but still have more to do.  OH stirred the current compost for me, bless him.

  Garlic Rust - storage
Posted by: PyreneesPlot - 31-05-2020, 02:15 PM - Replies (10)

Afternoon all.
I've just litfed all my garlc because the few spots of rust I saw at the beginning of the week have run riot. I've never had rust before and just wanted to check about storage.
I've read so far that -
You cannot store any infected bulbs.
You can store it exactly as usual, drying as normal.
You can store it but must remove all infected leaves before drying very, very carefully first.
Ummm   Huh 

Any experience of rusty garlic - it is a cracking harvest so it would be really annoying to lose it now!
Thanks [Image: 1f642.png]

  2020 - What I sowed today
Posted by: Veggie - 30-05-2020, 05:19 PM - Replies (69)

First post on a new Thread! I'm honoured!

Sowed some old Mangetout peas direct into troughs and planters for the new "Pea house!" Sounds grand but its just 3 netted sides of a square decked area that used to have a pond in it. The planters will go inside the netting and, hopefully, cover it with mangetout in many shades of peapods.

Golden Sweet = Yellow
Shiraz = Purple
Opal Creek = Yellow
Spring Blush -= Green with pink blush
Sugar Magnolia = Purple
