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:

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 raspberries keep on coming.. they love the rain...

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..
