oops possibly!

Lol, if I do get seconds I'm happy to forward them on if anyone wants them, otherwise they'll go to my father in law and no doubt end up being exhibited in a few shows.

 

[spandit]

Are mine in the post?

 

[British Red]

Its yours I have to post (not Shewies) . They are in the envelope ready to go - just not been to the post box for a couple of days. Meant to go last night but got diverted by beer and pigeon burger

 

[British Red]

Posted yours and Tommy the Cat's Spandit - just need to finish of the boxes now

 

[tommy the cat]

Lovely flavour

 

[British Red]

They've done really well Dave - properly caught mine up!

 

[tommy the cat]

Got to say Hugh had quite a few forked.... I'm guessing I need to riddle the soil and great rid of some stones!!!!
Carrots the same but I didn't thin enough so some quite small.. Ill do better next season!
Had some disasters and some successes... hey ho we've all got to learn....

 

[British Red]

Any freshly manured soil will cause forking too mate

 

[tommy the cat]

Ahhhh I seem to remember that now you say that!!! I'm presuming well rotted is ok?!
Or keep the manure off root beds??!
Ta d

 

[Marco1981]

Don't put muck on root beds. Use it on things like cabbage, and then when you rotate your crops next season, plant your roots where you manured the previous season. That should avoid the forking for the most part.

 

[British Red]

Use the beds in cycles - put the root crops in a bed that hasn't been manured recently

Many thanks

Sorry - didn't realise I had overposted Marco - he got to the root of the "forking problem"

As far as puns go Hugh, that was shamelessly bad!

Mine arrived this morning, many thanks!

 

[British Red]

Olivers and Marcos boxes have now been posted - so everything I had surplus has been posted (if you were expecting something you haven't received please let me know)

For those who may be interested, I may have Wizard Field Beans Oca and even some Yacon later in the year (likely mid Winter for the tubers)

 

[Marco1981]

A fantastic box of goodies turned up this morning. I appreciate the info sheets as well, a great guy.

 

[Shewie]

I'm tempted to get these planted next week, but will we get a late dump of snow like last March?

 

[spandit]

I think I'll start mine off indoors next week
