Planting the last brassicas and cutting down raspberries

4/11/2017

0 Comments

 
Friday 3rd November
I had just ten plants left to plant, five 'Durham Early' cabbages and five 'All Year Round' cauliflower. There was no room left in the net tunnel I was using for winter/spring brassicas so they had to go in the one I want to move as soon as the Brussels sprouts are done. I shall have to be careful moving the tunnel and net them separately afterwards. I raked the mulch clear of a strip and planted them firmly with a good dose of lime in the planting hole.

​As you can see from the above photo it was dusk when I had finished but I had witnessed another beautiful sunset.

​I had cut down the raspberries. Not the autumn ones but the summer ones which I am going to grub out and replace when those I have ordered arrive.

​It took me a long time to cut the canes down and then cut to lengths ready to dispose of. I had finished in almost total darkness and locked the gate as I left assuming no-one else was mad enough to still be on site.

    Hi! As "Webmaster" for this site I feel a bit of a fraud. 
    I am neither an expert at IT nor at growing vegetables. I do enjoy playing at both, however.
    I have a 10 rod plot in the middle of the site, having transferred in 2012 from a 5 rod plot I had been cultivating for about 5 years. I needed to give myself space to grow a wider range of crops.
    I will be recording my thoughts and activities on the allotment as well as sharing any knowledge and information I gain in my 'travels'.
    I constantly seek hints and advice from my neighbouring, and usually more knowledgeable, plot holders and will pass on anything I think is of general use via this blog.
