First Check Of The Year

Filed under: garden — adekun @ 8:39 am

The snow didn’t last long, but it did finish off the potato plants that were coming to an end. I’ll make a start harvesting them over the coming week. There is a rumour of snow over the weekend so I took the chance to give the garden a quick tidy up. The two remaining cauliflower’s headed towards the compost stack. The heads already yellow had turned brown, if I grow cauliflower again I will cover them.
Across the other side of the patch, the onions had perked up. I did notice one that looking a little poorly and another devoid of a top. Checking the first, it looked intact, however a tug on the stem revealed it was missing it’s middle. Was this the latest ploy of the nekirimushi? Armed with my trowel, I had a dig around the sick and apprehended the two perpetrators.
