Another short session on the plot yesterday. Potted on some Jalapeno's,Trinidad Perfume chillies and dwarf Cape Gooseberries. All were just potted on into 5 inch pots and if they do manage to come to anything I will pot them on again into 8 inch pots.Watered all indoor stuff. The toms I potted into final pots have really perked up and I have high hopes for them.
I lifted all my garlic which was grown from corner shop bought corms. Probably the best garlic crop I have ever had! I haven't lifted the Elephant garlic yet but think I maybe should as the scapes are five foot high!
Grazed on loads of strawberries while I was there. Finished off by hand weeding two onion beds and harvesting a spring cabbge for spring greens. I had the whole shredded cabbage for supper last night finished with knob of butter and loads of salt and pepper.
I need to formulate a plan for summat to put in my Jap onion beds once they are harvested? I don't like following 'like with like' but in this instance I may add some winter leeks which are like darning needles just now?
I didn't manage any photo's as I forgot my phone, which was a shame as I am quite proud of my garlic crop!
