I have so much to write I often don't know where to begin. Well that's my reason for not blogging more frequently.
So I'll keep this quick and simple.
Dry weather doesn't help much, so here's a tip.
Water your potatoes in the evening with a focused stream of water under the leaves. This is most important because hot humid conditions are ideal for potato blight infection.
Secondly, I suggest that you water your cabbage, cauliflower etc... in the morning. Why? Because evening watering will aid slugs and snails on their destrucitve paths.
Always avoid watering during the hot middle of the day.
The harvests are coming in lovely. But we should be thinking ahead. It's nearly time to sow Japanese Onions in trays to plant out in autumn. And soon I will be sowing Spring Cabbage.
Check my recently added page on crop rotation to see how they could be fitted in.
And if you haven't ordered any seed potatoes then now's the time if you don't want to miss out on a harvest of fresh new spuds for Christmas. See my page on potato bins and potato varieties.
Well, there's loads more to write - I'll come back soon and blog it.
Happy Gardening :)
