A tatty harvest from my tatty plot


This is one root of Kestrel, my First Early potatoes. I've now dug all of my Second Earlies (Lady Christl), as they died off quickly and some had slug damage. The first earlies are only now dying off, and have had no slug damage. However, some have had scab, but as you can see from these, this is very minor.
I also planted out some more lettuce this week - which were promptly eaten by our slugs - and some cabbages for the winter. I've covered these with the mesh cloches that I used over the first cabbages that I planted out, and which are now large enough to look after themselves. And I've put some more slug pellets down!
Apart from that it's been the usual weeding - neverending - and harvesting:- beetroot, French beans, courgettes, onions etc.
