Dug out the last of my tunnel potatoes, also cleared a bed of remaining carrots. It was hot in there 31’C. Then I dug and raked over the beds previously used for carrots and planted some Pentland Javelin potatoes for later in the year, aiming for new potatoes at Christmas. I also planted more Pentland Javelins where I had my seed nursery as nothing had grown all season in this bed. I want to get some more carrots in for later in the year. Growing carrots in raised beds 26-30” high in a poly tunnel has proved a great success this year, no problems with carrot fly because they are high and also I have some onions and lots of scallions growing in the poly tunnel.
Coffee keeps me busy until it’s acceptable to drink whiskey.
