If we can get to the end of the year and produce a harvest like this then all the effort will be worth it!
Another busy Sunday getting to grips with jobs in the veggie side of the garden. Firstly and most importantly, we erected netting to prevent the local pigeon population making anymore visits to the FiveSheds Brassica Feast!! Our poor brussels and purple sprouting broccoli have been turned ragged by these hungry birds. Well no more - now they'll just have to sit and stare as the plants grow!
The list of vegetables and fruits are increasing so here is a list of the things sown, planted and cultivated for the FiveSheds table 2010:
New Potatoes - International Kidney, Ulster Sceptre, Pink Fir Apple
Carrots - Resistafly
Beetroot - Choggia and a 'cylinder' type which will make for easier slicing
Radish
Leeks - Povite
Borlotti Beans - Firetongue
Mangetout
Mixed salad leaves
Rocket
Spring Onions - white lisbon
Shallots -
Red Onions
Parsnips -
Brussells, Purple Sprouting Broccoli and Swiss Chard
Cucumber
Courgette
Butternut Squash
Tomatoes - Ailsa Craig, Gardeners Delight, Alicante and Black Cherry
Broadbeans
Rhubarb, Black Currants, Raspberries, Strawberries (four types), Blackberries (thornless), Apple
Red Pepper
Chilli - Cayenne
Hoping for some Runner bean plants from Woz's Dad in a few days
Phew - no wonder i came in from the garden aching all over; lots of weeding, watering and potting on of seedlings as well as Woz helping me with bean poles and netting.
Futher garden updates will appear in due course.
