First zucchini of the season, no mildew in sight… yet. Also a PSA remember zucchinis get huge so don’t plant them too close.

I risked bean fly this year without a cover. I lost half the plants but the royal burgundy survived, lucky because it’s my favourite.

We’re slowly getting better at this. Almost a dozen potatoes from 2 seeds. And I didn’t feed this soil, it was literally a left over pot that I chucked the seeds in because I was really sick at the time. This is our June experiment. We’ve also got July, August and September to go. I was going to leave longer but I needed to misdirect Mr destructo so harvesting potatoes was the task 🥔

I was hoping this self sown tomato was a cherry tomato as I don’t like to grow the big ones this time of year as it’s an ongoing battle with fruit fly. It’s doing really well so I’ve decided to deal with it and just use the exclusion nets 🤞🤞🤞 🍅🍅🍅

Our glenlarge Garlic will be harvested soon 🙌 I harvest when half the leaves start to die back, I’ve found if you wait until they completely dry out the outer cloves start popping off. Last year we did it around now and I think it will be the end of this week they’ll come out. FYI these are short day varieties so harvest is earlier than a lot of common ones where harvest is normally November.
