Saturday, August 9

Soggy day

Today we hid from the drizzle in the Marquee, hoping that the rain would ease so that we could crop outside salad. But it didn't, so a merry half hour was spent by Chris outside picking a kilo for Nisa!
Beefed up [D3/4] with compost and liquid, ready in a week or so for japanese leaves.
Took out some of the flowering weeds from the Marquee sweetcorn. Needs more.
Hoed the outdoor paths.
Re-covered GHab(cd) that were dug over by japanese students on Friday.

We ate out first Sweetcorn tonight! Not as sweet as we had hoped, but great all the same.
For our main course we had roasted veg from the garden - onion, garlic, potato, small sugar pumpkin (not quite ripe), green pepper, tomato, courgette, carrot, and a little bit of oil, bacon and butter. Niiiice!!

Junka sowed Karashina, Umaina (delicious leaf), and syungiku.

Today we delivered to Nisa:
600g lettuce
150g kara/shun
600g cherry toms
125g basil
