Week 23 16.09.07 Plot Report
September 18, 2007
This week I will mostly be harvesting yet more runner beans! and plenty of tomato’s.
My tomato plants dispite looking very dishevelled because I have occassionally forgotten to water them are still producing a harvest of red and yellow fruit.
My Maris Peer xmas potatoes have loved the recent warm weather and have shot up above the pot with just 3 weeks of growth. I have now earthed them up with compost to the top of the pots.

Reminder of Cold Weather on the way.
After watching BBC1’s Countryfile on Sunday I saw the temperatures over the UK would be tumbling this week which reminded me to buy some fleece. I bought some Horticultural Fleece for the vegetable plot and my potato buckets 3m x 6m for £5.28 incl P&P from Ebay seller ‘All Seasons Gardener’.
Below are the Week 23 picture updates of my 3 vegetable plots.
