June 2010 June 10, 2010 Coming home We came home, late last night, from a couple of weeks away to find the garden and fields transformed. The combination of warm sunshine and heavy rain has turned the whole place into a jungle, and most of the vegetable garden looks great - or at least it will when I've got out there and pulled all the weeds out. I can't wait to harvest the first of the new potatoes - Duke of York. They were ready before we went away - I know this because I rummaged around in the soil beneath the foliage and felt a couple of hens-egg-sized spuds. But I managed to resist pulling any up. Today's the day, though, and we'll be eating fresh new potatoes for lunch! Thanks to the kind watering duties of our friend Debbie, who came over to feed the chickens while we were away, the greenhouse is also looking fantastic. The tomatoes have started flowering, and the pepper plants seem to have grown by several inches in the last two weeks. The slugs are out in full force, though - warm and wet weather is perfect for them, too, so I'll have to be extra vigilant in the coming weeks to make sure that they don't scoff all our salads. |
