The big dig from one bed of potatoes, a success.

However, although “protected” with net, whitefly has covered the brassicas. Hence first water jetting and then spraying with potassium soap and neem oil…

This may be the last massive take home of produce, although, for example tomatoes and cucumbers continue to ripen. We found one cauliflower covered with black spots; fortunately others are ok.

Straw on top of cardboard is being laid between beds to try and help with weed suppression.

Newly raised at home cabbages have been planted, surrounded with eggshell protection from slugs and a net cover from birds, etc.
