The Cut Worm Forgives the Plough: Garlic bulbs
http://tcwftp.blogspot.com/2012/07/garlic-bulbs.html
The Cut Worm Forgives the Plough. Thursday, 12 July 2012. Two of my garlic plants had fallen over, so I pulled up the bulbs beneath. The stalks had rotted through just above the bulbs, and I'm not sure if the bulbs will moulder away or dry out and be edible. In any case, I'm pleased with the size of them.

The Cut Worm Forgives the Plough: Legumes developing, basil dead
http://tcwftp.blogspot.com/2012/07/legumes-developing-basil-dead.html
The Cut Worm Forgives the Plough. Wednesday, 11 July 2012. Legumes developing, basil dead. Runner bean flower buds. There are now several French beans on the way, even though the plants are tiny - I knew they were a dwarf variety, but I expected them to grow to more than a foot tall before flowering. Several of the runner beans have reached the top of the cane wigwam, and are starting to flower. I'll have to pinch off the tops soon to make them bushier. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Cut Worm Forgives the Plough: Pottering
http://tcwftp.blogspot.com/2012/07/pottering.html
The Cut Worm Forgives the Plough. Monday, 16 July 2012. Despite a steady drizzle I pottered about for an hour in the garden after work. The holly and some brambles were encroaching on the path to the compost, so I cut them back, and added some more nettles and goose grass to the compost heap. The compost continues to be warm to the touch, and the rate of decomposition seems very high. I keep adding green waste alternating with layers of crumpled newspaper.

The Cut Worm Forgives the Plough: Tomato developing
http://tcwftp.blogspot.com/2012/07/tomato-developing.html
The Cut Worm Forgives the Plough. Monday, 30 July 2012. One of the tomato flowers has set, and there is a tiny green tomato about four mm in diameter ripening. The leaves smell great if I brush past them, so I hope it will grow into a good one. All five plants have flowers now, and are between three and four feet tall. There are a couple of French beans almost ready to eat, with more on the way, but I'll probably not get many at any one time. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

The Cut Worm Forgives the Plough: First courgettes
http://tcwftp.blogspot.com/2012/08/first-courgettes.html
The Cut Worm Forgives the Plough. Saturday, 18 August 2012. First courgettes of the season. The two largest courgettes looked about ready, so I harvested them. That's 10 oz, right there. I'm going to slice them and dip them in gram-flour batter, and have them as a fried side dish to a curry. The curry includes some of the new potatoes, 1 oz of French beans from the garden, and a couple of cloves of home-grown garlic to give it a bit more oomph. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://tcwftp.blogspot.com/2012/08/potato-harvest.html
The Cut Worm Forgives the Plough. Saturday, 11 August 2012. Today I dug up all the ' Epicure. Potatoes (with Steve's help) - the first early variety whose leaves were severely blighted. The potatoes are mostly sound, but have spots of rot on the surface and probably won't keep. I'll have to cook and freeze them. The total weight of the crop was 14lbs 12oz.

The Cut Worm Forgives the Plough: Onion harvest
http://tcwftp.blogspot.com/2012/07/onion-harvest.html
The Cut Worm Forgives the Plough. Saturday, 7 July 2012. Today I also did a bit more scything, and weeding, and pulled up some more bolted turnips. This was mostly so that I could feed the compost heap, which is warm to the touch and which processes new green matter very quickly. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

The Cut Worm Forgives the Plough: Bed five re-planted
http://tcwftp.blogspot.com/2012/07/bed-five-re-planted.html
The Cut Worm Forgives the Plough. Monday, 23 July 2012. Today I took out the sad remnants of the plants in bed five - bolted turnips, withered broad beans, and some good, healthy weeds - and re-planted with turnips (because the last batch did well) and beetroot (because the last batch did badly.) It's a logical business, gardening. Since there has been no rain since Friday (unheard of! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Legumes developing, basil dead.
