We have found some of our carrots have been attacked by the dreaded Psila rosae or Carrot Fly. We know what to do next year, so will just have to profit from the experience and hope that the little buggers save some of the crop for us !
Mark from the neighbouring patch has been taking some pictures of our plot using a very technical looking digital camera and his partner, Beth then e-mailed them to me. The pictures were all of a very high quality, but I think this one showing our Dahlia : Gallery Art Nouveau is especially nice.
This is our first real attempt at growing Dahlias and whilst we are delighted with the beauty of the flowers, we were a bit disappointed that they had not grown very high. We have also grown two other varieties, Canary Fubuki and Ferncliff Illusion. These have budded, but not yet flowered and we are hoping for some larger blooms.
