This first of July has many firsts associated with it ...
- First potato pulled this year - a Rosabelle
- First harvest of broad beans
- First courgettes of the year (from our plots. I have already had one from Neal's plot - well, he was on holiday!)
- First purple mangetout to make it home this year!
- First day of the year when it's been worth using the trug to gather the harvest and therefore...
- First trug shot of the year!
- First day with the new bench

| First day with the new bench |
And I had the day off because yesterday was so lovely I didn't want to miss another lovely day on the allotment - of course I had to hide quite a lot as it was too hot! Well, hottest day in Britain EVER (according to the Met Office).
That
maximum of 40 degrees was reached yesterday, but I think the
thermometer was in the sun so that doesn't count. Look at the
temperature in the greenhouse though!!
Jamie watered the floor and that knocked it down a few degrees, but not enough to be able to stay in there for long!So all this hot weather has meant... a lot of watering!
Everything looks happier when it's been watered.
Your plot is soooo neat. Lovely veg....prize winners all, think that bench needs a few scuff marks to make it lived in.
ReplyDeleteYep, I don't think it'll take the bench long to fit in, with all the pigeons about!!
DeleteWhat beautifully clean potatoes!...hope mine look that good when I get brave enough to dig them up;)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! Go on, be brave 😃
DeleteSome fantastic firsts there, well done.
