7 October 2007 overcast, mild 13c
Finally get down to plot after 4 weeks absence. Not quite as bad as had anticipated but mucho weeds.
Lifted remainder of the spuds, about 15lb of maincrop (KE) and 8lb of pink fir apple.
Brought home 5 ripe pumpkins, not huge, the big ones were eaten away. Bit of beetroot and few baby carrots also.
Did some digging, the root bed is half dug over and the spud bed is now clear, lovely and crumbly soil there. Will definitely plant lots of spuds, breaks the soil up a treat.
Spring cabbage and broccoli Ok, had a something nibbling but not too bad. Two rows of brassicas have come up along the runner beans, maybe broccoli or some type of cabbage, I'll leave them in and see what develops.
Sweetcorn rubbish, stunted cobs full of wood lice, try another variety next year and hope for more sun- though others on site had success.
Autumn plan- weeding and digging and put in some proper paths and bed boundaries.
