Over the weekend we have had to clear up after mindless vandals smashed nearly all the glass in our 6x8 greenhouse,a gang of youths were seen running away from the site around 5.30am after a near by resident heard breaking glass,she informed the police but to no avail,it makes you wonder what they were doing out at that time and what there parents thought there beloved offspring were up to!
To cheer me up we have also had to take off all the potato tops as they have been attacked by blight,these will be left for a couple of weeks before we dig them up and hopefully the tubers will have escaped the dreaded blight,next year I am going to grow all blight resistant potatoes as this is the third year in a row they have been affected.The carrots this year are my best yet using the Flyaway type has proved that using resistant varieties is the best organic way of growing,it will be interesting to see if they keep well and most importantly eat well.
