Another wee harvest
« on: July 22, 2008, 21:47:21 »
 ;D

Cut down the second early potatoes "Kestrel" and "Arron Pilot" as they were a good size.

Going to leave the rest to let the skins set so i can store them.





Look at the great colour!



And good news too!   Not one had any slug damage, glad I bought those nematodes.  ;)

Chris did you get the nematodes from a garden centre or was it from the internet,? also did you have to do it more than once?

Bought them from the net.......

over the whole year applied them three times, but it was well worth the money to reduce the slug population.
