I managed to escape yesterday evening back to Yorkshire for our D.A.meeting in Leeds with Trevor last giving a talk on Celery which was very interesting more to follow as I follow his method. He also covered Cuecumbers but I had to leave early and missed the second half .
Progress on the plot is very pleasing with shallots now measuring 38mm and growing well after the recent rain and a feed of high Potash soluble fertiliser
The Giant Onion now tapes at 14" round
the rain has also given the Brassicas a boost and they are motoring along nicely.
DT told me to 'F' off then I've not heard a peep out of him since! Most disappointing for a National Officer! LOL
ReplyDeletecan NOT pierce the skins that should be!
ReplyDeleteBeing serious for a moment....Watch those stones around your shallots!!! Create a 'dish' in the soil around the clump so they can swell out in all directions and clear the stones well away so they can pierce the skins.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to bring that recipe for humble pie with you to Harrogate!
