Yesterday was the day we decided to harvest our potatoes and carrots. We were pleasantly surprised with the potatoes as we weren’t expecting much due to the questionable placement of them and the fact the plants above ground looked in poor health. We ended up with around 2Kg (give or take some dodgy looking ones!) of potatoes so not a massive haul but enough to make into a meal for us all As usual the girls loved helping digging up the veg patch and finding out what yummy stuff we'd managed to grow. We even had our youngest, Serenity, come and help mummy operate the fork!
Alas we come to some bad news. The carrots were not in good shape when dug up. A lot had been eaten by something (carrot fly?) and the rest were all tangled together with very stunted growth. We decided to compost the lot as they looked in a bad way. Lessons learnt for next years crop.
As the carrots and potatoes were the last of our veg in the patch work can commence on the re modeling of the veg patch to give us more growing space for next year!
