It was a busy evening at the allotment. The last of the peas and broad beans were picked and the planted area cleared. I planted some more ruby chard and white kale in the vacant areas. I sowed some quick maturing veg (probably to be harvested as baby veg in a few weeks).. beetroot (3rd time lucky this year), mixed lettuce, pak choi and radish.
Picked:
- French Beans
- New Potatoes
- Black Currants
- White Currants
- Raspberries
- Fennel
- Kohl Rabi
- Yellow Courgettes
These last three are joining some red currants in a couple of summer puddings which we will share with some friends this Sunday.
Here are the latest pictures:
Lollo Rosso Lettuce dressed in its pretty pink frills...
Onions still swelling nicely.....
The sweetcorn is starting to develop its flowers....
The first New Potatoes.. which turned out to be a floury variety
The surprisingly mature French Beans after a week of rain and sun...
A huge Yellow Courgette (and its baby brother)...
The mysterious squash.. part of a random selection of seeds...
An enormous baby pumpkin.... only one on the plant, an only child...
These are the Dahlias that were knawed to near extinction in Spring..
