Grand tour
Finally persuaded number 2 and 3 son to have a look at the allotment. They were quite interested so I dug up a potato surprised myself at how big it was!
Long time no see again!
News from the award winning plot! Joint 10th place in our first year.
Picked the first Cherokee beans last night, 3 ounces. Also another handful of mangetout that have begun to crop again. I've left them in the ground to save the seed for next year.
Allotment isn't recognisable now the Blue Banana squash is an amazing ground cover plant. The two pumpkins are also doing well. We have 2 to 3 courgettes nearly every other day now from the two plants.
The Achocha has climbed up the trellis and started to go over the compost heap.
Potatoes and onions almost ready to harvest. Chickpeas have 8 or so pods per plant. One raspberry plant has got berries and the gooseberries seem to have taken.
The two rhubarb plants seem to be happy too.
