Hi Andy, hope you and yours are well. Growing season has been rubbish. I’m just starting to harvest beans but not many. Tomatoes are ok. Strawberries have been poor. How sweet and kind are you. What a lucky little bird. Bless his heart thank you for taking care of him. You really do put my faith back into humanity. Looking forward to next update. Thank you for sharing 😊

I love the new shed for the rook, Andy. Brilliant! Garden produce looks great too. It's definitely a strange growing year though, isn't it? Take care .

That’s a great idea with the shed for the rook Andy - he was lucky to be found by you, and hopefully he’ll be back to full health by the time he gets his ‘big boy’ feathers! I’ve given upon my French beans this year - very poor germination and small stunted plants 😕. After seeing your lettuce, I’m determined to grow more next year - supermarket salad is just awful on the whole! Take care & look after yourself 😊(p.s. sweet peas looking lovely! Mine have been great this year 👍)

Good to have you back Andy. My beans are not doing well but it’s the opposite too hot here early in the year. I’m definitely not getting any gluts if things this year 🤷♀️. Your seedlings are doing really well Andy and should have some fab winter veg. Hope everyone is well, have a great week, Ali 🌞🥵🇨🇦

Same here with the dwarf French beans but the cobra & another climber in the polytunnel are racing along now & flowering. Sungold's the only one of six varieties of tomato which is producing ripe fruit so far, a whole six weeks behind. Gherkin cucumbers have gone mad & I've already pickled a year's supply so I think I'll pull them to give more space to the bell peppers.

If you have clubroot then a product called Perlka is worth trying.

I have the same bean issue wrt germinating… not a sausage. Only cobra and hunter this year. For the clubroot, it doesn’t seem to affect my red cabbage, Brussels or kale just the caulis and broccoli. 🤔They were mullered by slugs… and as for chunky tomatoes, yes mine are super chunky this year…but good crop. It just reminds me to just plant a bit more than I need to get something/anything. Good luck at the allotment, Sandra

Hi Andy, interested on your thoughts on the pea moth at this time of year? Thanks

Its always a risk growing a later crop of peas and i have had them the odd time but never had them cause too much problem caused by them with only a small number of pods being affected. Ive never bothered to net peas apart from at early stages to stop birds and rabbits attacking them but that only tends to happen on the first planting. I wonder sometimes about the pea moth not being in large numbers on our site as it tends to have a lot of bats at dusk and the odd owl visits so i imagine they may catch a good numbet of the moths maybe. Cheers Andy

Andy i have clubroot its very disappointing but you can get around in with clubroot resistant brassicas. I also have onion rot in my garden and there's no way around that, im sowing spring onion in fish boxes, and i love my onions, i think i got it from shallots and sets i bought in, so i sow seed now but its to late

@@andrewredmond799 id seen online a while back about making an onion brew by chopping onions and steeping them in water for a week or 2 then watering it into the soil which wakes up the white rot but it has no host plants to mutilply on so over time weakens it and id heard good results just done over 2 growing seasons when used in the spring and summer and autumn of year 1 then just spring and summer of the second year then plants were put in the following spring from seedlings that were quite large to give them less time in the soil and no traces had been found at harvest and they repeated this on a 3 yr rotation and it worked and just grew other families of plants in the beds inbetween rotation years. It might be worth a try if you started now and then come 2026 try a small area of plants so it has had 2 waterings this year and 3 next year the last one being late summer. I dont think it needs a strong mix so you would probably mix 1lt of brew to 10lts and water into damp soil. Might be good for growing cartots or parsnips in as i imagine it would pong of onions a bit and mask the carrot smell. Im thinking of making some brew but with spring onion tops and any left over onion parts i can freeze then add them to water when i have a good hand full.
