Pesks

Gave the plot a good hoe and thinned out the carrots. Spread some growmore about as well, despite the clouds of protesting whitefly. I also thinned out the established plants. Several broccoli that were never going to do well, and a couple of sprouts. I gave the largest of the sprout plants to the monsters to eat. Freddy instantly turned into a furry shredding machine, but Dylan had a little trouble, bless him he was trying to eat from the middle of a leaf and couldnt get his teeth in. Anyway by the time i'd taken the wheelbarrow back down the garden there was little left of it.

One very sad looking swede hidden below the others i pulled, and discovered to my horror Cabbage Root Fly, the one next to it showed signs of this as well. Turns out theres nothing i can do, just next year grow them under mesh to stop the flies getting on them. Just hope theres one for christmas.

I want to grow chili's. Ive been perusing a catalogue and have my eye on Tepin, noted as being the pepper equivalent of a 7.62mm through the temple. Wondering now how well they would do over winter grown in the house.

Hopefully going to get some good garlic sets tomorrow
