Project 63 update

14th July 2017



With the growing season now in full swing, project 63 is awash with green and the number of trugs of vegetables being delivered to our charities is gradually increasing.

The courgettes continue to crop profusely, with four different varieties being grown this year. The Varieties are All green burst, Tondo Chiaro di Pizza, Floridor F1, and Black Beauty. The first early potatoes have now been harvested, and apart from those speared by my fork are looking good.



Three different varieties of squash are being tried, the two new varieties being Rolet and Yellow Scallop, all of which seem to be growing well, and the two raised beds of Mooli, Radish, Chicory, Celtuce, Rocket and Carrots are equally producing for us.

The poly tunnel has three varieties of peppers growing, Italian Long, Arianne and Bell Boy, an assortment of tomatoes, aubergines, and some jalapeno's on the potting bench.



Leeks have been planted out to replace the now harvested Broad beens, with the only disappointment being the french beans, which seemed to be sabotaged by a fleet footed fiend that picked out all the beans shortly after planting. Next door to the leeks we have two different types of Celeriac which seem to be in good heart, the Giant Prague and Asterix F1.

Please don't forget we send to the charity a couple of times a week and if you do view you have excess produce and would wish to make a donation, please get in contact with Karen Lawrence.All and any donations are gratefully received.
