Sunday harvested all but 1 of the pumpkins & needed help to pick MrBig up & put him in the shed with 6 or 7 others. More gherkins, runner beans- thankfully coming to the end now & a big tub of raspberries.

Long time lurker, first time poster...



Another 5 Pumpkin New England, 2 Sherwood Cabbages, last of the Boltardy Beetroot, Royal Chantenay carrots, Pentland Javelin and Charlotte Potatoes that have been forgotten during the maincrop harvest.  Also picked a few more runners, radish and last of the peas which suffered terrible mildew this year which has been frustrating. 

I was also gutted that my summer purple sprouting broccoli has finally sprouted and is absolutely smothered in aphids. Soon cheered up when I was lugging this haul back home, even if it did break my back carrying it. 

Always gives and takes this allotment lark.....

Small harvest. Few turnips and beetroot. Some raspberries. One courgette, has been really poor crop surprisingly. Two lettuce that are going to seed but still edible.

The rest of the outdoor tomatoes.   Many still green, but about to turn red, picked before forecast bad weather.  Could hardly carry them.  Chilli and sweet peppers and fat babies.

Fennel, Mooli and 2 cabbages. Particularly happy with the fennel-supermarket sized bulb and I'm sure will taste much better!

I dug up half a wheelbarrow of squonky carrots yesterday! They went into carrier bags for a couple of chums in the village who have ponies,,,

The trouble with carrots, is that when you want them to grow, they don't, but when you don't want them to grow, they go mad!
