My other Veggie Patch - What a Mess!

I went to my other house yesterday to dig up the rest of the veggies before I have horse poo dug in on Monday! what a neglected mess it looks at the moment, not so easy when you are not living there!
I pulled out the last of the leeks, can't you see that no manure had been added before, they are near enough the size they were when I put them in last year! I think I might as well plant the thinner


ones into my plot here! I also picked the last of the swedes, they are going to go into our pot-au-feur today. I thought I had carrots as well but they had rotted in the ground!


I also thought it was odd that my parsnips had grown beautifully in the last month or so, funny I thought, there was no sign of them growing well before, but, on closer inspection, I realised that they were my white radishes from last year - honestly they were as big as parsnips - full of holes - whoops! mustn't make the same mistake this year!


I was going great guns thinking I will have weeded my patch before I go home last evening ready for Monday, when beep beep, thinking whose that? it was my friends/neighbours Paul and Roz! so as you do, we stood talking for a while (well Paul did LOL) I reckon it was for a very long while, cos when they left it was too late to do any more work! got my work cut out on Monday now - watch this space!!!!!!!

Have a look at Paul & Roz's website of their great life here in Brittany and the vast menagerie they have at http://www.halfacrefarm.bretondiary.com - makes interesting reading and viewing!
