They are currently unsupported, which is probably a BIG mistake given how windy the site gets.

Tried twice this year, the first lot was demolsihed the moment shoots appeared by nibbling critters and the second attempt just about grew to a couple of inches before giving up.

The allotment has a bad problem with club root, but this hasn't stopped the old guys growing brassicas, although some look better than others. I think I might try some next year though. I love Savoy Cabbage. You inspire me to be more organised for next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912468918847715397.post-7385949203944780542011-10-24T11:20:17.705+01:002011-10-24T11:20:17.705+01:00The colours on the Chard are fab.

Apparently the only thing to survive the infiltrating grass was rhubarb! I'll bet Jerusalem artichokes wouldn't have much of an issue either ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861108457109878599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912468918847715397.post-76738204402085085052011-10-24T09:33:45.998+01:002011-10-24T09:33:45.998+01:00The chard is a lovely colour, mine didn't do v...The chard is a lovely colour, mine didn't do very well this year so I'm without.
