    Potatoes!

    Been making progress on the allotment plot… On my last visit to the plot, I made a mental list: There was something else but as it was a mental list and not a written down list, I’ve lost it. I couldn’t get the bean canes back up as they had snapped completely at the base.…

  • Seed Saving Experiment

    I usually try to save some of my own seeds from plants I’ve grown in the year. This year I’ve managed to get: Tomato Nasturtium Peas Coriander Poppy Fennel (or dill, not sure!) Broad beans Calendula Cosmos I left a couple of onion plants on the plot which had grown seed heads. I haven’t tried…
