Planting in the rain

I planted red runner beans this morning. I didn't need to water them because it already rained this morning. We went to the Pop Inn for lunch. I'm glad we got to out today despite the rain!

Washed out...

 It's been two weeks since I've been to the allotment. Last Tuesday it was impossible to do anything because of heavy rain. Anyway, that meant that a little bit of weeding was needed today.    

 

Early days...

my plan for next year

it was raining today so we did not go outside. so we read about what we could plant for next year.
we looked through a book of herbs, I decided that I want a mixture to make a herb garden.

Harvest Festival

It's autumn now and tomorrow we're showing off the things that we grew in the allotment, so the public can come and see it. I harvested  my onions, my radishes and my squash, and I will put them on display. I'm a little bit nervous, but I am also excited.

One potatoe two...

The potatoes were ready to take home today.  Many are quite small, but they are really healthy  looking (King Edwards). There are about 2-3 lbs in weight and I'll probably have most of them this week.                                                                                                                                      

Changing allotment

The allotment has changed a great deal in the last  year: for example, better defined, raised boarded areas for growing vegetables, making them much easier to maintain/ cultivate. Today I came home with large broad  beans and huge spring onions.

allotment

I did the allotment today and planted some potatoes-8 to10 of them. With the rest of the group we also planted various other vegetables including: spring onions, radish, little gems (lettuce), rocket and carrots. There were three of us working together in total.
