Over three weeks since I visited the plot because of bad weather and ill health. It was a bright morning this morning and I had a bad head so decided I would take Kato for a walk to the plot to clear my head.
I was pleasantly surprised on arrival that stuff I had planted in Autumn was growing well without my intervention. The Aquadulce broad beans sown under cover are doing well,along with the Durham Early spring cabbage also planted out under cover.
The Elephant garlic is doing well and seems to have had a 100% take. The few Japanese Senshyu onion sets that I planted early autumn are also doing well.
I also have other Japanese onions planted a bit later which arn't doing as wellbut at least the greennery is starting to show.
The poor kale has taken a battering from the pigeons and is only feasible to grow if covered during the winter.
Picturs below show broadies under glass,spring cabbage under glass, Elephant garlic and Japanese onions in beds and lastly the devastationcaused by pigeons on kale (which I wasn't too bothered about,and at least they were enjoyed!)
