  1. Raised beds is the best form when planting veg that produce under ground eg: potatoes ,onions as you have a better chance of not getting rot .This allows the water to drain away from the vegetable when harvesting make sure you harvest when the vegetable is dry so when you store it thre is no water content in the vegetable gives you a longer shelf life .
  2. It looks like a moth has got to them .This time of the year is the worst as most insects are coming out . I presume you don't want to use chemical the best thing is the to cover your veg with shade netting it will keep most of the insects out . Cut the leaves off aswell because the moth lays it eggs under the leave so as to keep control . The cut worm is also a big problem they attack cauliflower and cabbage , they are in the ground and usarly attack the root . fennel is plated some time in between cauliflower as it grow higher than cauliflower and moths will not attack your cauliflower as it does not like the smell .The moth will attack the tallest plant normally.
  3. Kranswurm I was there two week ago to see my dad not in Sintra but Algarve. Weather was hot ,love the small restaurant bread ,cold meats and cheese don't forget the wine . Came back with a extra 6 kg heavier . Have to ride it off . Enjoy
  4. I am in Portugal at the moment I see they have placed lanes in for runners and cyclists . They have two lanes next to each other .Red is for runners and Green for cyclists . Spoke to some cyclists and they said it is for commuting to work mostly people who use it to go to work and back and are not serious cyclists . The guys that are serious still have to ride on the road as their speed is to fast for them to ride in these dedicated lanes and may cause accidents .
  5. I have done some renovation at home ,decided to hire a skip to place my building rubble. It works out more expensive than the bakkie boys. I do not support these guys with the bakkie any more as they are the ones that are dumping all over the place.
