Today at the Garden

A cold but bright day, with evidence of last night’s frost - beans, pepper plants and nasturtiums all looking very bedraggled. We tidied the vertical garden on the Shed which was badly affected.

We sowed the broad beans and interspersed with corn salad seed; and we covered the row with netting to give them a bit of help against the promised frost.

We also removed dead foliage from the cabbage row as a preventative against clubroot disease, although I read today that ALL the brassicas family can be affected and carry the spores, including turnips, radishes, and broccoli!

Leeks, kale, and a few turnips and carrots were harvested.
