Spudz In June!

Garden Log 22 Jun 08:
with a chilly but sunny day in the garden.
The last 2 weeks have been damp,
No temps below zero just (0.1C)
Highest max has been 16.4C
About 7mm of rain…drizzle really!
Despite the cooler weather I’ve just harvested some lovely Potatoes
including some of the purple fleshed Sapphires…
these spuds grew up when I started to water Bed 2
back in February and they survived the March Heatwave.
More potatoes decided to sprout on Bed 6 a month or so ago and have been enjoying the rain so much they looked to good to leave for the frost to get them so I built a mini tunnel by the bed. Last summer’s Capsicum crop is still going strong in that bed so they will appreciate the warmth too. I planted 2 rows of dwarf broad beans in the empty side of the row…they don’t really need the additional warmth but I have left their planting a bit
I’ve potted up a few of the Acacias, Tagasaste and Carobsthat were planted earlier
and as I had a couple of spare pots
I popped some Warrigal Greens in too.
Last week I potted up 8 punnets of Flat Leaved ParsleyThen I found another clump under one of the plum trees!
When I was tidying up under one of the Apricot trees I noticed 6 small seedling trees growing.
So guess what? I potted those up too.
It’s OK I won’t be planting all of these plants out they will go to the Garden Club trading table…someone will buy them!!
The best news of the week………
….we have our first Roi de Carouby Snow Pea! Ya!There are others setting too.
