Comfrey Tea Stinks

Listening to: Stone Roses

I have decided to start a blog to keep a record of what is going on in my allotment.
More to keep track of dates and times of planting etc than to be of any interest to anyone :D

07/07/2005:
Went to the plot for an hour last night watering and putting some garden cuttings into the compost bin.

Some tomatoes are looking a bit worse for wear.Replaced two plants with spares from the cold frame.
I have found growing them on a window ledge produces slim leggy plants rather than stockier stronger growth. - thanks to Mike for the info.Note to self look for a greenhouse going cheap.

I planted the tomatoes out 29/05/2005.

Desiree potatoes are looking pretty strong and large,coming on well from what I can gather.The pink firs (which I planted about 3 weeks too early) are smaller but this may be the variety.

Onions are looking ok  and my heritage beans (thanks Mike again for the seeds) are coming through well.
No sign of the runner beans as yet but they have only been in since the 29/05/05

I have started to make a comfrey tea brew.After finding out from various sources that this makes excellent organic fertiliser and also finding out that the plant that has been invading my garden since we moved in is actually comfrey, I gathered about half a mailsack worth and put it in a black bin half filled with water.
I had been warned about the smell and must admit it is getting quite potent.
