As you probably know, I have a
NEMESIS -
PARSNIPS!
The packet said sow seeds into a well watered drill.
So I did.
The packet also said fleece can be 'beneficial'.
So I used some and made a small cloche.
And here, I've covered the other drill with several layers of fleece.
Let's see which does best.
And Mr McGoo, I hear you ask? He wont be growing Parsnips this year as he has SO MANY LEFT TO EAT LURKING IN HIS FREEZER.
BUT I'M NOT BITTER!
Now that the poly tunnel has a lovely tight cover on it, I decided to get the soil prepared for planting. Two rows of manure has now been dug in. You can see that I had just started digging it into the right side.
The ground is now covered with black plastic - care of Gerry The Dairy and his silage clamp.I'll plant through the slits in the sheeting, if I can get anything to come on now that my propagator has gone belly up.
In the mean time I'm going to some some beans to train up the framework and give me a mega early crop.
Good idea HUH?
