It seems we are doomed to failure with anything but out possible potatoes (rather confirmed potatoes now) and lots of garlic. Everything else has withered away and died, leaving only little bits of buried plastic as evidence they once existed.
I do like garlic and rosemary roast potatoes but I think ultimately out current strategy has run us a little dry. Dry being my point. I have foolishly only just connected the water saving strategy, what I saw a CERES and what is going wrong with our veggie patch…NO MULTCH! There was nothing to keep the top of the soil moist and hence protect the fragile new growth In the future we intent to test this idea as we do not want to waste another few weeks to no avail. Also the little white bits in the photographs are egg shells, one of Craig’s family members put them there with the belief they would help deter pests…I do not subscribe to that voodoo. I have to logic to back up my claims other than “Why wouldn’t snails like eggs?”
