Busy Times - Plot 119

Busy couple of weeks, mostly busy weeding!  Neverending job it seems, you turn your back for a second and there they are again.  Really pleased with how the veg are growing, the cabbages are looking like cabbages at last and the potatoes are starting to turn, soon be time to lift them all, lifted half a line to see how things were going and brought them home for Sundays tea.  Nice size and good taste, not sure of the variety though as that row were our 'salvaged spuds'.  All I know are they are red ones!  Busy harvesting broad beans, had to freeze loads as got a real glut.  Also lots of courgettes and chard.





Plot 119 is looking very cheerful with the calendula and the sunflowers too.  Pulled the last of the broad beans on this plot and filled the gaps with 6 rows of leeks.  The only sad thing on this site is the polytunnel, usually the growbags self water (from the holes in the roof!) but despite this they dried out between visits and some of the tomatoes are looking a bit sad, still lots of fruit coming though.  Trimmed back the jungle in the greenhouse too, courgettes gone mad.  Had a lovely weekend down there, allotment BBQ on Saturday afternoon, good weather, good food and good company, a brilliant afternoon!  And Sunday saw us lazing around chatting and socialising again at the summer house, really nice!
