We spent a few hours on the plot this afternoon. It needed weeding after all the rain of the last couple of days. Apart from the parsnips which have refused to germinate, everything else looks pretty happy.
We put another 7 sweetcorn in - the ones we sowed and left under the cloche on site which had all germinated - much better than the ones we started at home.
We pulled a Rocket potato plant (1kg) and the first Lady ChristL (1.1kg) and a handful of strawbs and raspberries along with the usual salad.
Found a brilliant shiny beetle on our broad beans - I'll add the photo on my Friend or Foe webpage once it's identified...
Hungerford allotment blog - grow your own, harvesting and vegetarian cooking. Enjoying allotment wildlife, weather and other things that catch my attention. Enjoying time on the Marsh Lane Allotment site in Hungerford, Berkshire. A record of successes, failures and a handy reminder for me. From 2017 each post title brings a song to add a little extra music to the world - enjoy!
