Allotments 4 All

..for the Midlands. STRONG blustery winds expected!

I've been digging up some Jerusalem artichokes and about to cook and eat some 
If there is one crop that has done well with our horrid weather is JA's..don't know if I should  ..or 
The row that I was supposed to clear out from JA's grew 'back'...and has done better than ever and first dig revealed 'millions' of good size tubers and even more teeny weeny ones. I doubt I  get rid of them in a hurry...there is definitely more than me and slugs can ever consume...shame that slugs don't suffer with wind..that would 'fluff up' the top soil very quickly..

my neighbour has them just one foot from my  plot and they are a flipping nuisance. She can`t give the fartychokes away

Also beware of a cold spell starting Wed/Thursday with frosts expected in Midlands

Hm..I suspect that was genuine weather warning 

Although 'fartychokes' have very 'nasty' side effects..they are utterly delicious. Taking account your warning...I better get some straw over the the row so it don't freeze over and I can carry on digging out more of my little 'wind wands'
