Finally dug up the volunteer potatoes in the onion bed. The offending spuds were put in a black bag and binned to prevent spreading any diseases they may have had.
Came home for lunch and planted a few shallots that were festering in the shed. Very late but it will be interesting to see if any of them survive and do anything useful.
A couple of the tomatoes in the mini-greenhouse seem to have a yellow blotches on 1 or 2 leaves. No halos to the blothes so hopefully not early blight. I'll have to investigate that. There was talk on the allotment today of a frost tonight. Planting the tomatoes out, giving them some nice fresh air, is therefore not an option quite yet.
Two more achochas have germinated. There may yet be a harvest of these things. I've never eaten them before so I am quite curious to find out how much they taste like green peppers.
Of some parsnips I started pre-chitting just last weekend, 3 or 4 have germinated and have been planted out. I wonder why these were quicker than the previous batch...
Until next week...
