First of all, Success

From June 9 09

This is our first harvest this year: onions, garlic, potatos. The potato crop was quite miserable, given how much love we poured on these, but maybe the trenches were too deep and our earthing up too enthusiastic. Still, they tasted nice. This is probably about a third of the onions and garlic, with more to come. Very exciting.

In the back garden, the strawberries are looking good.

And then, the failure

Remember my broad beans?

From Allotment may 09

I was leaving them for another few days, just to get tasty. Sadly, it looks like something else was as well. I suspect something short and furry. This was the only sign of the broad beans left today. I was SO looking forward to them – I’ve nursed these little darlings since last October. Any good advice on anti rat/mice deterrants?
