Ynyslas Gardens: Goodbye Gardens
http://ynyslasgardens.blogspot.com/2008/10/goodbye-gardens.html
Chris and Junka's growing diary. Wednesday, October 1. Today I handed in our notice at Ynyslas Gardens. It was hard to do and made us sad. Decisions. We've put so much work into it, seems a shame to let it go. We are planning to be involved in Borth Community Gardens, or what it be named. And so here is the marquee with its late summer crops. I wish Junka were here. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. A week goes by. Peas on 2nd season. Liquid Organic Fertiliser - High in Potass...

Ynyslas Gardens: Autumn take down
http://ynyslasgardens.blogspot.com/2008/10/autumn-take-down.html
Chris and Junka's growing diary. Monday, October 13. Today I began stripping out tomatoes from the marquee. I picked 7 kilos and took out several bare plants. The Courgettes at the front of the marquee are still doing their best to produce, so I cleaned them up, re-trained them and cleared the invading Nasturtium. I need to get on with collecting tomato seeds! I will be planting some winter crops and maybe supply some new salad bags over winter. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Ynyslas Gardens: October 2008
http://ynyslasgardens.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Chris and Junka's growing diary. Sunday, October 26. Today I did the last major tomato crop, a lmost 7 kilos. There are a few healthy ones hanging in. There but most are now withering and going funky. I will be making a special green chutney with the unripe ones, together with green sweet peppers and green chilli - Green Chilli Chutney! Sungold seem to be the most resilient of the eight varieties that we have, although Moneymaker have done very well too. I still have a few left for seed-saving this week.

Ynyslas Gardens: Goodbyeee Tomatoes
http://ynyslasgardens.blogspot.com/2008/10/goodbyeee-tomatoes.html
Chris and Junka's growing diary. Tuesday, October 14. Today I continued stripping out the finished tomatoes in the marquee. It's beginning to look more empty now. It feels really sad! I was very methodical, moving through the beds taking out the bare plants and stripping off all but the remaining tomatoes on healthy plants. There is still some more of this to do but I'm pleased with my progress so far. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. A week goes by. Peas on 2nd season. Liqui...

Ynyslas Gardens: Final salad crop
http://ynyslasgardens.blogspot.com/2008/10/final-salad-crop.html
Chris and Junka's growing diary. Wednesday, October 15. Today I did a 30 bag crop for Liz and Joel's box scheme. There has been a lot of wind damage on the outside salad, and it's all getting very old anyway. So i cropped very harshly. It was difficult to find enough leaves to make up the amount and some of the leaves were of a condition that I wouldn't normally allow into the bags, but still good enough for me to eat. I spent over 6 hours doing this crop (with a nasty hangover! The economics of all this...

Ynyslas Gardens: All steamed up
http://ynyslasgardens.blogspot.com/2008/10/all-steamed-up.html
Chris and Junka's growing diary. Wednesday, October 22. I gave everything in the marquee a big old soaking last night and this is the result! With the outside temperature in the early teens and the sun pushing the inside temp toward 30, my camera's plastic lens doesn't stand a chance. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Ynyslas Gardens: Peas on 2nd season
http://ynyslasgardens.blogspot.com/2008/10/peas-on-2nd-season.html
Chris and Junka's growing diary. Wednesday, October 8. Peas on 2nd season. A month or more ago I rescued some pea sprouts that self-set from our summer pea crop, and today I ate the first of this second generation crop. Very sweet and juicy. The indoor pumpkins have also have a second summer with three new babies on the way. Mind you, the 3 biggy cinderellas outside are growing proper huge! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
