With a heave and a hay-ho, Maria and I have raised the strawberry growbag to double the height, and found 4 absolutely monstrous slugs underneath. No wonder they were getting so eaten. And also lots were going rotten even before they got pink. But it will all be better now. Except the tomatoes…
Also cleared away the last peas, all horrible and mildewy.
I’ve blinked, and the blight didn’t. So the tomatoes have had it. Suppose they’ve lasted quite well, compared to last year. Will probably get another handful before they expire.
The bean den is at its peak, they are all really fat, but not stringy. Pretty impressed.
The courgette has started producing marrows, due to the same blink, and can’t really keep up with them. Have had some really good raspberries, although in small quantities. Strawberries are really suffering from slugs and snails, cause they are so low. Have picked most of the apples, and they have been really amazing – very large and sweet, and quite a few of them. Some of the leeks are ready to pick now, although we haven’t yet, what with all the courgettes and beans.
