Digging In The Sun

Spent a couple of hours in the sun this afternoon digging up some spuds. Being the totally daft so-and-so that I am I’d forgotten to put some sun tan lotion. So I’ve now got a red neck!

Will pull up the onions and the rest of the spuds when I get back off my hols in a couple of weeks. My Mum and Dad will be popping down to water stuff in the meantime.

Brought a couple of courgettes home today - you’d never see them that shape in a supermarket!

Garlic Problem?

I pulled up a couple of garlic bulbs today. The leaves were going a bit brown but I wasn’t sure if that indicated the garlic was ready or not. There’s a bit of doubt because in the wind and rain about 3 weeks ago the plants took a hammering and were leaning over a bit.

Anyways, much to my disappointment the unearthed bulbs were titchy ! Great smell of garlic but really small bulbs. Fingers crossed the rest of them aren’t the same. I’m now wondering if I should’ve weeded more between each garlic plant ….could be yet another mistake… bleeding nora!
