Sorry to he...Hi Mangocheeks, good to hear from you.<br />Sorry to hear about your allotment plot problems, at least you still have a wee bit of space to grow veg in your garden. Even a little bit of home grown produce is cheerful.<br /><br />The beetroots were mighty! According to my planting records they were beetroot bolthardy - and they certainly didn't bolt, as I sowed them on 30th September 2009 .. and harvested them in September 2010. So, it did take them a while to get THAT big .. and they'd probably have been tastier when a little smaller too.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your kale nero .. maybe try camouflaging them with other plants .. I think thats how they did ok for us.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by - love your recipes.Ferris Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112537164554514642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040424243130404918.post-16141819579699491302010-11-06T18:19:06.804+00:002010-11-06T18:19:06.804+00:00Ah so lovely.

I am so sorry that the Planners are being a nusinace to your growing dream. <br /><br />Your beetroots are Awesome. So big. Mine were the size of gold balls, my husband was not happy with them. He wanted big ones. May I ask what variety you grew?<br /><br />Also envious of your cavolo nero. I had some growing in my plot, but the cabbage fly got them all :( <br />Kind wishes.Shaheenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602971207085826708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040424243130404918.post-66317772359906859572010-10-05T21:43:20.839+01:002010-10-05T21:43:20.839+01:00Hi Grace, thanks for your cheery words - it all he...Hi Grace, thanks for your cheery words - it all helps :-)<br /><br />We have a meeting with the planners this Friday - so fingers crossed we move forward.<br /><br />I was pleased with the surprise veggies .. and still tempted to pop in some garlic and onions now, even if we aren't there much right now, I reckon they'll do ok.<br /><br />Good luck with your kale nero, bet they'll taste (and look) great.Ferris Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112537164554514642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040424243130404918.post-14789615915282027772010-10-04T21:57:57.439+01:002010-10-04T21:57:57.439+01:00Hi Ferris, You DO have the patience of a saint. I&...Hi Ferris, You DO have the patience of a saint. I'm so sorry this is taking so long and there is so much red tape. You're right though. In a few years this will be a memory and you'll be so glad you stuck with it. <br /><br />Those veggies are amazing. The beets look like a world record to me. That must be some nice soil they're growing in. I especially love the kale nero. I have some seedlings I planted about a month ago. If they look as nice as yours I'll be one happy gal. <br /><br />Cheers dear friend. I hope the planners get their act together soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
