I've managed to harvest something! I will have some results for 2012!

So I took the plunge and emptied the tub of potatoes that I'd been growing in the greenhouse, not a brilliant amount but at least there were a few decent sized spuds, which I have since had some for my tea.  The variety was Rocket  and I managed to get a grand sum of 778g of potatoes.  I'd forgotten to change the setting to lbs, but this is about 1.7lb of spuds.  I even took a picture....


I might have a go at digging up one of the plants at the plot tomorrow, they have flowers on them and it was 11 weeks ago that I planted them.

I've also made a little more progress on the bottle house, there is still the back panels to fill, I'll most likely have one finished off tomorrow, I might even put in some of my tomatoes tomorrow whilst I'm at the allotment as they are getting pretty big now and really need to be in their final positions, so here is what it is looking like at the moment.

I think I have wooly aphid

My apple tree has got a white fungal almost foam type substance on it, its sticky to the touch. I've googled it and I think it's something called wooly aphid, can anyone confirm....



If it is wooly aphid would I have to move it away from the other trees I have in buckets?
