Repair Under Way

Sunday turned out to be a nice day with some decent sunny spells, feeling mild in the late autumn sunshine.

On the plot it was a case of repairing the shed roof. It would have been finished if I hadn't have run out of materials. I reckon a good patching job should see the roofing felt last a few more years. Another dry day should see the job complete.

We didn't spend too long at the plot as it seemed to be the chosen spot for a particularly heavy shower. It left everywhere soaked so we decided to return home where it turned out it hadn't rained at all.

I harvested a few Early Nantes carrots. These are the first carrots lifted that haven’t been grown under weed suppressant membrane although they were protected from carrot fly by environmesh.  

After a quick wash under he tap they looked good enough to eat. In general they were a bit small because they hadn't been thinned out. One very large specimen had split and was consigned to the compost heap the rest were fine with no damage from slugs or carrot fly.

  1. It's great to have fresh carrots this time of year. I really like growing early nantes and find they do well.
