I found a label…
It was at the end of the carrots, tucked away at the back of the shelter/cloche, which incidenmtally I’ve had to take apart today in an effort to lift it up a bit as the broccoli are threatening to escape ….. I think the pepper in there might be thinking about flowering?
Anyway, the carrot label says "Carrot, Purple Dragon, 25/5" So they were sown at the end of May and pulled at just about big enough to eat this week - 2 months(ish), not bad going. They could have done with longer to get bigger but we’re just impatient. Also dug up a few more spuds and shoved in a sprouting one from the larder in the hope that it might grow - that’s three I’ve done like that and you never know, we might just get a second crop in late autumn. Some of this lot of spuds are actually quite large and we’re not eating that many each week so this crop should keep us keep us going for ages, probably most of the summer.
Peas are coming on nicely and so are the first baby pumpkins - I just hope there’s enough summer for them to grow and ripen properly.
Education - Both kids did reading and writing this morning and I want to do some work on BIG numbers with Dino later, but lunch first I think….
