Good Bad Ugly

After removing all the green turnips and a ton of weeds the bed on the left was somewhat empty. Of the parsnips planted, only 3 (or was it 4) germinated, all from Niche (none from Yates). Not many carrots had germinated either - perhaps all because the irrigation system had somehow been turned off.

What to do with an empty bed in January - plant with winter crops. A new row of parsnips went in and the spaced between the plants filled with new seeds. The same with the mixed coloured carrots, and a new row of Red Barron orange carrots (thats a row of mixed colours a, a row of orange, and filling the gaps with mixed colours).

The row of white turnips was filled too.

Finally, a few days ago 4 brussel sprout plants were planted out into the brassica bed. It looks like the brassica bed is doing well, lets hope for success over winter and into summer (thankfully the rabbit hasn't been seen all summer).

As for the ugly - the cos lettuce have started to bolt. One more was harvested today. Thats 3 for the season. Seeds in the green room have germinated so more soon (hopefully).
