As the blight spreads onto the stem of the plants I cut them down and burn them, but the odd plant is still surviving, which is amazing as I only did one preventative spray for blight a few months ago.
The Poly-tunnel is looking pretty sparse of tomato plants, but the peppers and chillies are still doing well .
Bramble is on guard duty over the freshly planted garlic and onions, as the chickens do like to have a roam around the garden and the freshly dug soil was full of tasty worms.
Despite the continued attack from caterpillars it looks as though we will have a nice feed of Brussel sprouts. Too much time on my on-line business has kept me out of the garden and it really needs a good tidy up, but next year I will be slightly more choosy with what I grow, or more importantly how many!
I had a good crop of leeks, but how many can one eat? and they do not agree with Mrs TK's stomach, so I will give those a miss next year. I have also promised her not to grow so many tomatoes as she as spent hours making gallons of tasty tomato soups, tarts, chutneys and many other tasty dishes.
how lucky that you could still be picking tomatoes come Christmas.
ReplyDeleteAs long as the frost stays away, but at least we will have a nice food of Brussels with our Christmas dinner Mrs P.
