Orto di Casa Cecconi

My first allotment, and then one thing leading to another…

And I'm back

Horrified although not surprised to find more than 10 asparagus gone to seed, but picked the most delicious strawberry. And a little bag of goodies, mainly herbs.

Surprises multiply, with last year’s cime di rapa growing in between tomatoes – just as well, as the ones I sowed more recently are tiny (10 cm as opposed to the 50-60 plants that I am used to from Italy), and already going to seed.

Major work ahead, watering nematodes in – did not have time today, just came to dispose of the obnoxious rats, really.
