As I pondered the potatoes (some have flowers, so I’ll be eating new potatoes soon!), cheery Brian & Pauline came by, & gave me a good tip with regard to storing radish (in an airtight container/plastic bag in the fridge) so that they don’t go soft, & they also said not to pick lettuce or radish when wet as they would more than likely go mildewy in the fridge.“As it’s so wet, we can’t pick the radish, & they have come ready at once – please go & pick some if you are here in the week!” they invited, “but something’s eaten all our peas, so we’ll have to sow more.”
Being somewhat of an expert in pigeon-damaged peas, I showed them mine which I thought were ruined but Reg-next-plot said to leave them as they would grow back, which they are now starting to do. “Oh! Maybe ours will be alright too!” beamed Pauline, & off they went.
I had a good look to see whether any of the PEAS (hsl newick) or BROAD BEANS (barry plot 19) were ready for picking – which they are not quite - however the SWISS CHARD (bright lights) looked as if it would stand me pinching a couple of leaves of each plant, & I took that home for tea instead.
