A decent days harvest

 A quick trip to the allotment this week as the weather has been awful.
I did a bit of harvesting.Half a carrier bag of tomatoes,200 grams of raspberries,a hungarian zucchini and some Annabel dwarf french beans.

Gem squashes,Rumba onions,French breakfast radishes,Kohlrabi and some Flyaway carrots,

Some Chioggia  beetroot.I also dug up a couple of Picasso potato plants that unfortunately seem to have split and are a pig to peel.
The garden clear up continues and here is the tomato graveyard,all waiting to be emptied.
At least I still  have my Sungolds producing and still tasting gorgeous.

Allotment update.


A couple of nice days has enabled me to get down to the allotment for some planting and weeding.
One task is to tidy up my wilderness area.My neighbour to the left makes no effort to clear up any part of this area.

I made a start yesterday and managed to pull out a dalek full of nettles,cleavers and other assorted crap.

I have planted out some Black Beauty courgettes and Maskotka tomato plants that have been hardening off in the garden.
I have weeded and hoed a bed next to my Strawberries and planted some Little Gem lettuce,Boltardy beetroot,AYR lettuce,Chioggia beetroot and French Breakfast radishes.
