Globe Artichokes
All is looking good on the allotment plots so far this year as the above photos show. Though germination of the seed rows has been a problem this year, i've managed to get most things going now. I have also taken on another half-plot for now!.....though at the end of the season i'll decide if to continue with it, as it all takes time on there weeding, etc. But so far i'm pleased with everything there. The polytunnel has been a big success this year with tomatos, peppers, chillies and aubergines all looking very good. They all need regular watering and feeding of course. Strawberries & Raspberries are in season now and i'm picking those almost daily. The Kale is being protected by a very fine netting I bought online, which is supposed to deter Whitefly from attacking the plants. Usually most brassicas are affected by Whitefly under the leaves, which puts you off eating them. So this year I tried the special neeting, which is much like net curtaining used in a house!....in fact it might be, but it is a very fine net. So hopefully it will do the trick. It allows water through it, but nothing else!.
The pumpkins are all strting to grow now, so we hope to enjoy more of those this Autumn onwards, after they lasted up till April this year.
