Start of another month.

I managed to get a bit of weeding and harvesting done today before the rains arrived

 My first attempt at growing swwetcorn,this is Headstart F1 and there are some cobs showing.

 In between my sweetcorn I have planted some Black Beauty courgettes which are flowering but as yet no fruits,

 The runner beans are climbing and are in flower but as yet no beans

Due to the blight on the plot I have cut down the haulms and this is today's harvest of Pentland Javelins,I also harvested some Charlottes,the last of the Albignesian Wight garlic and an Early Nantes carrot.
The Early Onward peas have finished so are now in the compost bin.
I don't hold out much hope for the allotment tomatoes and seem to spent ages snapping off discoloured leaves,at least there are a few green tomatoes which have had a borage mulch to see if it gives any protection.
I have planted rows of Autumn King and Flyaway carrots,Ishikara spring onions,Axima and Blue De Solaise leeks.
I have finally had some Latah,Early Tanana and Koralik tomatoes from the garden,some Chioggia beetroot and some Piccolino cucumbers.
I have potted up Sungella,Principe Borghese and Sweet Million tomatoes as well as a batch of Sweet Genovese and Purple Basil.

Olympic torch

 As it was only a 200 yard stroll I went to see the olympic torch,well that is 5 seconds of fun.
On the allotment front we have come down with the dreaded blight,Thus I have cut the halms off of my Pentland Javelins and harvested a whole row.This area has now been dug over and fertilised for the next crop.This obviously doesn't bode well for the tomatoes down there so I am going to be growing a lot more in pots in the garden.From the allotment I have harvested my first batch of Charlotte potatoes,Golden Gourmet shallots,Senshyu yellow onions,Early Onward peas and some Albignesian Garlic.
I planted some Mrs Connell black runner beans from the seed circle.

It seems that my neighbours at Plot72B have given up,they didn't even last a season,at least Plot 72  are there are still there.
At home I have potted up Koralik,Sungold,Mortgage Lifter,Dwarf Mr Snow and Tasmanian Chocolate tomatoes and some Partner F1 gherkins.

Update

There was a strange yellow thing in the sky this morning so i spent a couple of hours down the allotment.I weeded the brassica area and tomato areas.

I planted Helenor swede,Snowball turnips,Green and Purple Delicacy kohlrabi,Hilds Blauer Herbst und Winter radishes,Little Gem squash and a couple of Hungarian Zucchini.Needless to say its raining now so they should be well watered in.

I harvested some of my Albigensian Wight garlic,Early Onward peas and some more Pentland Javelins.

Why gardening is so frustrating.

Yesterday I thought it would rain so I didn't go down to the allotment.Today the weather was similiar so I did and guess what it pissed down.

I had the time to cut down my chocolate spot infected Aquadulce dulce broan beans that had dropped their leaves.

 I also managed to harvest some of my Albigensian Wight softneck rust riddled garlic.I got some decent cloves out of them.

 On a happier note my Headstart sweetcorn and Black Beauty courgettes are coming along.

The tomato patch is progressing and as yet isn't blight riddled.

A pic of my bee magnet Borage,good for compost tea and the bees love it.

I also harvested some more Pentland Javelins and French Breakfast radishes.

At home I have started pots of Sweet Genovese and Purple basil.
In the garden I have finally planted out Beijing Yellow,Alpatieva 905 and Early Tanana tomatoes.
Into a container I have potted up Beijing Yellow tomatoes and a Picolino cucumber.
I am also hardening off Dwarf Mr Snow and Tasmanian Chocolate dwarf tomatoes.
