Green manure sown

Now that the spuds have been lifted, I have sown green manure in the greenhouse bed.

More spuds harvested

I have now lifted all the potatoes from the greenhouse bed.

Spinach Beet update

I'm still harvesting the spinach beet.

Potatoes harvested

...This is what I have left of the Rocket spuds I harvested on 21 July.

Today I lifted a row of 5 Pentland Javelins plants from the greenhouse bed.  These were planted on the same date, 21 July.

Festuca Glauca

Front garden update

Euphorbia Amy

Aubergine update

Of the 4 plants, 1 died as it got overgrown by the courgette, and 2 failed to fruit. The remaining plant produced one aubergine which I roasted today. Not bad, but I probably won't grow them again as they're not very productive.

Courgette update

Very disappointing year for courgettes. I only planted one plant this year (had to leave space for the aubergines), and I only got 2 courgettes!

Spud update

Spud batches 3 and 4 (Pentland Javelin,planted on 7 and 21 July) are certainly producing good foliage. I'm still eating my way through batches 1 and 2 (Rocket). We had a lot of rain in August and I think the above spuds liked it.

Tomato update

No blight this year - cropping is maybe a bit low.

Armeria and Pansy updates

A few days ago I potted up the pansy and armeria seedlings (sown on 03 July and 14 July respectively) - polyanthus seedlings also shown.
