Called at the plot this moning as I usually do on my way back from exercise routine on a Saturday! The round courgettes are still prolific. Havested thee yellow round ones and thee green round ones. I also havested a couple of ridge cucumbers which was a bonus as I thought my cucumber plants had died!
To fill the carrier bag I added some onions.
A few of my onions have holes near the base which in all the yeas I have grown them I have never seen? It looks a bit like slug damage but only goes into onions maybe 1/4 inch so is easily stripped off! I wondeed whether it could be onion fly which I have only ever encountered once on my old plot, but they were confined to the leaves?
I now have two boxes, one with 100 Radar onion sets and one with 100 Senshyu sets in it. These are ready to plant but I need to 'Beef up' the beds they ae going into. I have some ompost I made myself and nealy a full bag of potting compost. If I mix the two together then tickle it ino the sufcae of the bed, plant the sets then add some BFB or slow release fertiliser, that will hopefully suffice. I also need to replant my elephant garlic!
