Sometimes it's good to reflect like this at the end of the year so you can see that in actual fact you didn't waste your time.Tanya.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08436595615435609755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175981378563441793.post-87150561488843590862013-01-27T18:59:06.753+00:002013-01-27T18:59:06.753+00:00I don't think it could be any worse than this ...I don't think it could be any worse than this year Liz...fingers and toes crossed!!Tanya.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08436595615435609755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175981378563441793.post-9848303186410190192013-01-27T18:58:40.527+00:002013-01-27T18:58:40.527+00:00We get through so many potatoes...I wonder if I sh...We get through so many potatoes...I wonder if I should try some different method of planting this year...I'm just not sure what though...at least it's something to exercise my brain whilst the weather improves.<br /><br />So maybe I shouldn't actually dig over the ground the sprouts are going in and just dig a small hole for the seedling...anything is worth a try!!Tanya.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08436595615435609755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175981378563441793.post-84159019350329602232013-01-11T10:28:07.398+00:002013-01-11T10:28:07.398+00:00We too struggled this year.

But gardeners and allotmenters are optimistic to a fault so it's bound to be a better year next year.

It's easy to get caught up in the doom and gloom when we've had constant rain, and slugs are devouring our seedlings, but lots of things worked out well. We don't really celebrate new year either. We'll have a take away and watch some tv, stay up till midnight to see in 2013 but that'll be it. Wishing you all the very best for the new year.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175981378563441793.post-27383179438550728082012-12-31T13:24:26.552+00:002012-12-31T13:24:26.552+00:00Happy New Year, lets hope this one is better for g...Happy New Year, lets hope this one is better for growing than 2012 was.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175981378563441793.post-21566884740489824322012-12-31T11:13:14.634+00:002012-12-31T11:13:14.634+00:00Many similar outcomes to us Tanya.

We find that this cuts down slug damage which we had surprisingly little of this year. Also it means that the potatoes have produced a crop if late blight strikes.<br /><br />As for blown sprouts generally this is reckoned to be because the ground they were planted in isn't firm enough.<br />Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.com
