A look at the progress our early and summer brassicas are making on the plot. Our early bought in plants are doing well but our summer crop of self-raised plants not so well.
We made a start this weekend on getting our home greenhouse into summer mode. This meant moving out plants destined for the allotment and planting up peppers and aubergines into big enough pots to see them through summer in the greenhouse.
I also emptied out a bag of Casablanca potatoes which had been planted at the beginning of March and left to grow on in the greenhouse.
A bit of video of our cardoons taken on Monday before the gale force winds and on Wednesday afternoon showing the damage to the plants. I need to think of a way to support our cardoons for next year.
