What with the lousy weather and a concerted attack by pigeons - my poor veg. patch is suffering a bit! I have constructed a particularly ugly barrier around my broccoli plants. Its a cross between a junk yard and a second world war Dig for Victory garden! However it does seem to be doing the trick and my plants are making a slow recovery.
I have dug up all my new potatoes now - approx. 30lbs. Great! Now all I have to work out is how to store them properly so that they don't rot. They do taste superb though. I shall definitely grow some more next year.
I have also just started harvesting some courgettes. They are a little pale - according to wise old neighbour this is due to lack of sunshine - sounds completely plausible to me. No problem though - they taste fine.
First cropping of broad beans and peas should be soon now. This is also a little late due to the weather, but I'm looking forward to them.
