Planted broccoli (5 plants). Harvested the shallots.
Update 19 July 2009: Planted broccoli (5 plants).
Harvested some of the
potatoes, these are the results so far:
| Charlotte |
These are salad potatoes. They were large and tasted very good. |
| Epicure |
These are floury potatoes. They were quite large and were good for baking
and roasting. |
| Vivaldi |
These are salad potatoes. They tasted fine, but
they were not very productive, with most of them very small.
(This may be because the plot is not particularly fertile). |
The Pak Choi was a failure. Quite apart by slug damage (which is
avoidable) they seem to be attacked by some other insects. I don't know quite
what is causing this. The photos above show this damage. The top image shows a Pak Choi plant, the lower picture is an enlargement. The edge of this leaf clearly
shows slug damage, the rest of the leaf has small holes. There is no obvious
insect that is causing this. No caterpillars, no beetles. I had no choice other
than to remove them and plant broccoli in the same place.
