Well my garden has been good to me over the last few months and I have learned a lot from it. First lesson learned is that celeriac really does need to be thinned out quite brutally (I ended up with half a dozen tiny baby celeriac bulbs all grouped together). Second lesson learned was…… rats love tomatoes. I however do not love rats so when I discovered that one had build a nest in the base of one of my beds of tomatoes, I first tried not to scream like a little girl, then I put the hose on “jet” setting and blasted the fat little rodent out of its nest. Once it had ran up over the fence into the neighbour’s yard (oops) I pulled out the tomato plants and filled in its nest. How tough am I???!!!
So I have taken out most of the remaining crop and have some seeds in the seed trays which I’m hoping will develop into healthy seedlings ready to plant in the next 5-6 weeks. I am still nurturing some cherry tomatoes and rhubarb which are maturing in their beds. Watch this space for Rhubarb and apple crumble.
