Tomatoes...

Allotment today: very general tidying up, which included a lot of weeding. Also, many of the tomato plants have so many fruits on their branches, that they need to be supported further, by tying those branches up off the ground. We are preparing for the October harvest festival, when we can display many of our plants.

Tidying up

There were so many small, but necessary jobs in the allotment today. This is a strange time of the year and as Iv'e said before: Autumn/ Winter are coming and we have to take advantage of what growing opportunities are available and that means much preparation is required. 

Cucmbers.

It's always exciting in the allotment, when we are able to harvest our vegetables...today was no different. I have three cucumbers, onions and a bunch of garlic to take home. It's a great feeling! 

More broad beans

The main issue today in the allotment, was how dry everything hads. quickly become in just a couple of days. It is a real problem, given the continuous hot weather we have had. At least I also hads. the opportunity to harvest more broad beans!
