Catch Up Time

Bear with us on this. It's more of a diary entry than anything and there's no pretty pictures!

Had quite a good day yesterday, sowed 3 types of lettuce, (Little Gem, Webbs & All Year Round), Musselburgh & Porvite Leeks, (about 200 seed), Kilaxy Cabbage, (supposed to be club root resistant),spring onions in modules, parsley to start off in a seed tray, Trafalgar & Nelson sprouts (note the connection!) - 60 in total. Potted up about 40 cauli plants from the seed I mentioned in an earlier entry.

That was the morning. In the afternoon I actually got to the plot!

Planted a load of strawberry plants - "Irresistible". Allegedly the sweetest strawberry I'll ever grow! Bred for the supermarket trade, but found too delicate to transport. OK so I fell for the advertising blub.

Also got the shallots in, harvested 2 sacks of leeks, half a dozen humongous parsnips. Hoed the winter onion bed.

All in all not a bad day. Today's not looking so good. Cold & windy out there & I've got to go to the dentist.
