Een nieuw jaar! Geluk en gezondheid gewenst en dat het ook voor de moestuin maar een vruchtbaar jaar mag worden.
Tjonge, wat gaat het hard met de tijd. Dankzij de hele zachte winter tot dusverre, heb ik nog een en ander in de tuin staan.
De prei is aardig oogstbaar, alhoewel sommig wel erg dun gebleven zijn. Dit zijn enkele van de dikkere exemplaren. Helemaal niet gek.

It’s been a long time since I posted on my blog. We’ve had a weird summer. Very wet and cool after a super dry spring. Most veg grew reasonably well. For the new season I’ve already planted Radar overwintering onions and Rose de Lautrec garlic. Also onion ‘St. Jan’.

Rain! And more than a few millimeters, though I’ve heard it’ll take a fortnight of steady rain to get up to the normal total amount rainfall for this time of year.

Several tomato plants are suffering from blossom drop. I”ve checked the symptoms and the causes can be many. I’ll just give them some fertilizer and I’ve cut them partly to allow them to make new stems with flowers. We’ll see. Fortunately not all plants are affected, so I’m still expecting at least some crop.

Yesterday I havested the potato plant, which had been growing in a big pot since early spring. I started it indoors, moving it to the greenhouse when it grew on and finally outside after the risk of frost at night had passed. The yeald was over a pound. We ate a lovely potato salad yesterday!

Lots of things to do in the garden. Planting out lettuce seedlings, sowing new beetroot, tying in the peas, putting up cucumber plants, tying up tomatoes, spreading compost and whatnot. The weather was lovely and we got plenty done. I do have sore muscles now, though.

As our greenhouse is placed upon a concrete slab, I grow my tomato plants in pots. I quickly took this photo, before they really grow on and get out of control – the always do, no matter how hard I try to keep pinching out side shoots.
