Wow can't believe how the weeks are passing so quickly and next we know we will be covered in snow,so much to do and so little time. Hoping to spend a few hours this week on the plot more than this week,it's alway busy at work every other week so next will be a little calmer.
So this week I've done a bit of this and that but mainly not a lot,so anyway I've managed to dig up my second early's and was chuffed I got a few spuds. I did have a few with slug holes in them but I gave them away to family,I kept most of the ones without holes. I was going to store some of the spuds as seeds for next year,but I got them mixed up with a few 1st spuds i had left so don't know which is which. But I'm going to save a few main crop and use them as seeds for next year,never saved any seeds from veg or flower or spuds to use again.
From the spuds I'd dug up I had some big ones ideal for jackets or rocks,can't beat a nice big pair to hold onto.
Think I've gone a bit mad on saving some beans for next year,I didn't realise how many I had left to pick. I've given some away and will have to give some more away,if not my plot will be covered in beans. So if you want some just let us know and I will send some out,at this rate I could supply the full site with beans.
When I have been to the plot I've started to do a job and finish it then go onto the next,but the last couple of times it's slipped a bit. On Thursday night I ended up picking brambles and elderberries to try and make some wine,what a ball ache it is trying to pick the berries from the stalks. But I did managed to pick just over 2lb and a 1lb of brambles,so I got them sorted and now in a demijohn fermenting away. Just hope I've done it right and it tastes good and fresh,so yesterday I had planned to pull rest of onions up and sort beans out. But ended up sorting beans out and collecting brambles again,that wasn't even on the list to do but I got 3lb of them so going to make some plonk.
