The plot thickens. A uniform is most sort after for the Community Gardener and will be under construction sometime soon…..
Herbs were planted at the Allotment Plot at MERL; sage, garlic chives, mint, roots scavenged from the somewhat altered Herb Garden at the Fine Art Department.
Digital images were taken of peas, broad beans, onions, garlic, and spinach pushing through the soil as the plot thickens. The weather is most Autumnal, Winter is approaching, it is close to December. Much rain and wind, now frost perhaps on its way, what will happen to the peas? They are not clothed in horticultural fleece, how long will they survive without protection?
Still no slugs in sight, this pleases the Community Gardener.
There has been rain over the last few days and some sunshine. The soil at the allotment has softened with the moisture. Today I planted two rows of garlic, each clove approximately 15-20cms apart. I used two types of garlic. The first type was Thermidrome, one bulb that contained 14 cloves and the other type was Sprint, at one and a half bulbs, which was a total of 15 cloves. I covered the vegetable organisms with the soil. The garlic should be ready to harvest next summer.
