Ziggys' West Bay,Dorset Veg Plot

It's looking good Ziggy!

Have 'ewe' named the sheep? Perhaps you should call it Dolly. Cabbage patch dolls!

 

Nice pictures Ziggy - that sheep is lovely!

I notice you have a lot of garlic: what do you use it for?

 

Just the usual, pizza, bolognaise, garlic bread, vampires etc.

Some of those are Elephant Garlic, they were the only ones that did any good this year, all the rest were tiny so i've bought some fresh seed cloves this season.

 

Would that be 70 bulbs, or 70 cloves? - as some bulbs can consist of nearly 20 cloves.

 

Sorry Scrunge, I mean't 70 cloves not blubs:DOH:

Now that would be a lot. Had 5,000 on the go once, but that was when I had a field.

Smelt lovely when they were drying in the sun.

 

Scrungee, unless he just eats garlic, he must leave space for other vegetables...

 

:D Mmm, just garlic:D

I've planted one of the Elephant garlic cloves in a pot in the greenhouse, just for comparison.

 

I've got 286 cloves planted and still wonder if I should go for some additional autumn planted stuff.

 

Well thats the Vampires taken care of, you need some Mistletoe for the Werewolves now

 

nice thread...only just read it all.

 

Forgot to put this weeks box up:DOH:



The Pink Fir Apples were rogue ones that came up under the beans, a bit of Mizuna, Rocket & Land Cress & a few White Lisbon Spring onions.

 

Sorry Zig, first time I`ve looked at this thread. Is the plot on the site next to the orchard?

 

Hey Dai,

No, just the plot next to the top field of the Melplash Show.
