Happy Solstice everyone!
In keeping with tradition, I harvested garlic this morning, on the longest day of the year. Not for tradition's sake but because I could see that it was ready to be harvested.

Short on space?

I was disappointed to find that there hadn't been much in the way of growth with the garlic in a week, and as the hole had enlarged (Fox? Paw prints for sure) I decided to do away with the fleece. To try to discourage further investigation I strung some rotten string across the bed #allotmentgardening #vegetablegrowing #kent #england

Started my sowing at the weekend. It's odd. Every year I am determined not to grow anything other than the essentials - vegetables and a few annuals. And every year I end up with a planting list as long as my arm. Does this sound familiar???

First potato harvest of the year. I only lift what I need, the rest is best 'stored' in the ground.
As in previous years I have grown Kestrel, a second earlies variety. My vegetable garden is no dig.

Harvested garlic today. Almost all bulbs a really good size, better than in previous years.
90 bulbs in total, which will see us through to the next harvest and provide seed bulbs for planting in December.
I started growing garlic several years ago. It makes me happy to realise that this is my 8th harvest!
I have a garlic growing guide on my website: https://www.wolfkettler.com/blog/grow-your-own-garlic

First #seedlings of the year. I have learnt that sowing too early does not achieve anything.
Don’t say it, I know: Soil is a little too wet. It’ll self-correct.
Anyone want to have a guess what it is?
