That’s a lot of onions.

My children pulled up all the radishes and a few lettuces today.

I give some to my parents and bros and sisters… Ah shite… All fucked?

About half the radishes were too small but the rest were fine. They left the lettuce outside so only spotted it this evening when I was watering.

Ah bollox, lettuce is Hardy enough… Or was it totally fu ked

Twas lying in a wilted pile on the ground.
:grinning:

If you’d managed the photo a tad better, to incorporate the island with the quartz worktop and the robot mowing the grass you’d have a Good Reply nailed down by dinner time.
Your modesty is quite touching. Great work BTW.

Phenomenal work mate. Makes me homesick for potato growing soil and climate.

Fair play. Those drills couldn’t be more protestant looking if you sprayed “no Pope here” on the wall.

@Faldo you must go through tonnes of manure.

Not really tbh… Start of the year I’d take the “real” manure out of the sheds and use that… Maybe 2 bags on the garden for the moss and a 2 or 3 for the vegs etc

We’re lucky enough, the soil is good

You’ll all be glad to hear that the hedge is coming along nicely.

However, @Fitzy I need you advice in a bit of ‘Weed or No Weed’. Could you give guidon each of the following please.



Were the stone chips already down and laid on weedblock? It looks tidy.

Pull out the grass round the Hosta in the top pic.

Had it done last summer. Landscaper out in artificial grass and those stones and shrubs. Fine job.
