Squash!






A couple of self-sown squash plants appeared this year. Not much fruit on them, but picked the first squash today.

Tomato update






Been a really great year for tomatoes!

Green manure sown



Sowed some green manure in the beds taht previously contained spuds. Used mainly 'mixture' but also used up the remaining grazing rye seed from last year. Covered beds with netting.

More heucheras divided







Divided a red heuchera and a purple spotty one. Planted up some mixed heuchera containers.

Spuds (batch 2) lifted

Today I lifted all the Pentland Javelin spuds that I planted on 06 July. The Arran Pilot variety that I lifted in July seem to have produced bigger potatoes, but the smaller Pentlands may be due to the fact that we had a very dry August, although I did try to keep them watered.
