A gift!

Nice gift from Margaret a few plots away from mine (down 1 along 3).  Some Broccoli, Sprouts and Cabbage grown from seed and now ready to plant.  Warned about the fact that the birds will eat the lot unless I protect with netting so I did that tonight.  Bit ramshackle with a few holes and I actually saw the robin inside the netting, but I think it should keep the wood pigeons off.


Also found about Club Root, a horrible disease (fungus thing) that affects brassicas. Only brassicas thankfully.  If you get it on your plot, and it is about on other plots, you can't grow brassicas for 20 years apparently!

Lets see if these gifts grow and I'll find out about Club Root soon enough.
