Finally got the 1093 Hunt home after a pretty eventful trip from the patch. My patch is on a slope and if it had started to roll I swear it wouldn`t have stopped until it killed someone !!
Seeing as I didn`t get to the weighoff, this is now the 498 Bragg 08 UOW (1093 Hunt x 963 Paton)
It would have gone over 500 but was stuck on the plot for a few weeks.
I wouldn`t say I,m proud of my season but I put in lots of work and it`s still a PB for me. I guess it`s an improvement on last year when I ended up with nothing.
What have I learned this year ?
To grow big in the UK you need to grow under cover. I will be growing in a polytunnel next season.
Prep has already started on the new (2000sq foot) patch with around 1.5 tons of good quality manure already added.Seaweed is next on the agenda.
Roll on next year !!
