Another week, another issue..
Diaster has struck 13, like something out of a Hitchcock movie we have been attacked by birds... Our brassicas to be precise, not content with plucking out our onions they have now taken a liking to our tasty cabbages.. A poor little soul here..


Some have survived..Those ones where underneath string with bags attached:


Hopefully they will recover as long as they have not pecked out the heart of the cabbages we should be ok..

But it is not all negative news...Our Leeks and Onions are doing well...First the leeks, they are surviving the rust well...





What else...Rich has been working very hard double digging the asparagus bed, he has taken out a load of stone from the bed, it is on the side of the plot by a bank where the electricity board just buldozed a load of stones and earth years ago, so it is hard work, had to delay the delivery of the Asparagus until December...

But this is the most sheltered spot on the plot, they apparently are ferns and grow about 3-4ft tall so need some support...Amazing what you learn about your food as you grow.
We should do really well here, remember another 2yr wait for these guys :( So thats the currants and the asparagus we have to wait for but boy what a year it will be in 2010.
Finally the plot looks like this we have a covering of leaves, Rich did some hard work today (Not shown here) clearing up the paths, but autumn/winter is definitely here..

Finally we had a special visitor today, buttercup, George's teddy from Nursery, Buttercup, helping with the brassicas and general stone clearing..
