Thanks peeps and for clarification on the herbs. The only thing between the ducks is some sage and its doing ok. This is first time growing anoything outside so all a bit experimental
Well a cold spell has meant unoptimised growth. Ive had the heating on last 3 nights, traditionally the hottest week of the year, things getting better next few days it seems. Some decent sun today at last.
No sign whatsoever of pistils and im happy with that. As the temps here are mid october levels and they continue to grow and be healthy etc. So a late harvest is not a bad thing. I didnt want em to be humongous and all very stealthy at the moment, so v happy. They do proper pong up close though.
Look a bit hungry, although could be just the leaves lapping up the rare sun today (the strawberry plant looks the same.) Think i will drop some diluted piss over them tomorrow for a bit of N and a tonic.. just to be on the safe side.
They are all v healthy and stealthy.
Duck 1.
Duck 2
Topping evidence..
Duck 3.vThe one shacked up with the rhubarb. he rhubarb is a nutter. I pulled all the leaves/stalks off last week back to nothing and a week on its gone nuts again.
And the patch where 1&2 are. Ducks, rosemary,sage,strawberries,oregano,cabbage,carrots, salad leaves,courgettes.
