Paddy McCartney from Greencastle inspecting his cropsPESTS AND DISEASES
Brussels: Keep an eye on Brussels sprouts, removing yellowing leaves to prevent fluffy grey moulds from becoming troublesome.
Debris: Remove (or dig in) all plant debris from the vegetable patch or allotment, to reduce the spread and the overwintering of disease and pests.
Disease free: Refrain from composting diseased material, as the temperatures in domestic heaps may not be sufficient to kill pests and diseases. Burning the waste, burying it deeply, or placing it in the domestic rubbish, are alternatives.
Pesky mice: Place mouse controls near your stored vegetables.
