2015 Growing Season..

Ain't that the truth :(

 

Sown 45 Climbing Bean 'Monte Cristo' yesterday out of sheer boredom.

 

Planted out French beans (Cobra),Potted up my Naga chilli's ,sown more mixed salad/herb leaves .. earthed up potatoes

 

Brave!

Differently brave!!

 

Planted out some Chard,Sown Fennnel ,Coriander and mixed lettuce

 

Sown a packet of Spring Onion 'Winter White' in a trough.

 

HAHA poor little suckers maybe they will have better luck next time :D Still the sun is shining and it's warm time for a rest me thinks :D

 

Last years Charlotte potatoes that have grown in the compost bin. Silly question: Can I eat them?

 

Yup (provided they aren't last year's spuds that have, since, grown and produced foliage and (hopefully!) this year's "crop". Usually the "seed potato" goes mushy, so is easy to spot, but sometimes they go hard instead.

 

I'm not sure if they're last years or this years (lesson learnt), no foliage has grown. They do seem hard.

 

Last years then. If they haven't sprouted?? (seems unlikely) they may be OK. If they had then they would have formed baby potatoes, depending on variety it might be a bit early to "Harvest them", but if left they would have given you a good crop!

 

Oh there was a few sprouts about a foot long but no leaves on the end.

 

The mysterious tomato fairy has been...I wonder who it could be? @Lolimac hmmmm



Also, Leek 'Elefant' potted on again

 

My Arran Pilots have been in the ground 117 days, are they ready? They haven't flowered yet however. I'm not too sure what to do?! Will get a pic tomorrow.

 

They need to be flowering IMO,you could have a careful sneaky rummage,but they should be left until after they have flowered to get the best out of them
