Week 36 – Year 2
12th October – 18th October 2009
Thanks for a couple decent days in this week, popped down to the allotment picking most the Spaghetti Squashes and all pumpkins…. very please for this year’s fine grows…
Spaghetti Squashes & Pumpkins
Mooli Radish
A big improvement from my last year growth and as the usual saying “got plenty room to progress”… at least this years I can cook some of the picking while last year mostly go to the compost bin… learned that they are better grow in early Spring or after the heat of Summer…
Parsnip
My parsnips are produce good roots this time and as I planted in plenty in different beds this year, I have picked quite a few and they are really sweeter than the one bought from supermarket…
Beetroot
These are from Bert’s @ plot 19, as I said this year is good year with Beetroot, most plots have plenty and good stock of beetroot this year. I pickle, salad and get them into soup… they are super yummy…
Board Beans
Planted in the Winter growth Board Beans @ Bed 4 & 5 top half, as I found that the growth is better planted in early than the one planted in Springtime, less Black fly trouble…..
Onions
Planted in some Winter Onions at Bed 8, they will grow through the winter…. pick as it grow for winter use…
