Planted and netted brassicas; harvesting potatoes and squashes



Planted up a variery of brassicas (cauliflower, cabbage and purple flowering stuff) into previous onion and potatoe beds in centre 'aisle'. Netted them over with some plastic mesh mum bought.

Continuing to get planty of potatoes from the back bed ... should be enough to last until Christmas I think ... also planted some potatoe offcuts that had started to shoot, they may come to something or nothing, doesn't matter.

Loads of butternut squashes coming on, probably 16 in total, picked 5 quite large ones already.



Emptied one of the skip bags of compost into various beds and refilled with raw menure mix already. This time, not much added soil or other compost stuff. Also, added more to the raised bed at the back and covered that with black plastic -- hopefully to keep it warm and compositing.
