love nature and live how you like

365 days of gardening obsession

03 September 2006

More rain.

Laurie valiantly struggled around the muddy soil as I grubbed up the last of the second earlies. Another good boxful. There's almost too much harvest to handle at the moment. The corn on the cob is ready for everyone to eat on Tuesday evening. The brocolli is sprouting away still and more squash are being discovered all the time.

Back in the refuge of the greenhouse I sowed some late Carrots (
Nantes Frubund), Italian Giant Parsley, Wild Rocket, Mustard Green in Snow and a final attempt at Dog Rose from seed. (If this fails again I'll give up and take some cuttings instead). I've sown some leaf chicory (Spadona and Zuccherina di Trieste) in boxes on the decking - the idea being to get a few 'cut and come again' helpings before the first frosts...
