This is an ex-worm. Thhhhhpppp!

Well I found out why my supply of worm fertiliser has dried up, as my worms have shuffled off this mortal coil, are pushing up the daisies, have f**king snuffed it. So off to the worm farm for more worms. Meanwhile my nettle tea seems to be doing the trick.

Also today I just thought I'd write that I'm sick of raspberry picking, every time I go to the plot to do something there are hundreds more ripe raspberries to pick before they go over-ripe. I shouldn't moan, really, should I, but I've only got a small freezer. Just wizzed a load of them up with some ice cream to make fresh raspberry ice cream. Yum.

Garlic Harvest

July is the time to harvest garlic, as the foliage turns yellow.  Here is one of my first, a variety called Iberian Wight, next to a golf ball to show how big it has grown. Pete, who has the plot opposite mine, said it was the best he'd ever seen (I promptly gave him a bulb to take home for that). That was very nice of him but to be honest, I can't remember seeing anyone else growing garlic anywhere near by, so not sure what he based that on... it is pretty good though.
