Nettles, Docks, Thistles, Grass

Nettles, Docks, Thistles, Grass 

That's a good sign!

Nettles = fertile soil
Docks, thistles and grass = enough warmth & water

The veg should be fine eventually......

The veg should be fine eventually...... 

I know,

It's because i've had a fully productive and well kept plot in the past that im finding it a little frustrating lets say at the moment to have to start all over again

All will be good for next year, and i'll get as much going as i can until mid August then thats it for sowing/planting, then harvest whats read as it's ready.

Sounds sensible to me.

I've not found it easy this year with less free time and then only very short visits to the plot.

Today I planned to go and dig more potatoes but, a dentist visit and two fillings later, it rained so......try again tomorrow.

Loads of spuds, lettuce and a handful of berries a day at the moment. Peas have flowers now, fingers crossed that they wont be long. Leeks, beets, beans,turnip and carrots look happy. Not doing too bad for a back yard.

Knowing that I have no courgettes yet  my friend kindly brought me some of hers.....
but they were the size of marrows!

One is stuffed and in the oven right now, with peas and chard from my plot

[Potty Plotty Lotty]

Just had dinner made from recent harvest.

A stir fry with autumn onions, kailaan, a single brocolli spear, yellow mangetout, pak choi, courgette, broad beans and spring onions 

(Other half not in so didn't bother with the meat for once   )

[tosca100]

Gone-to-seed salad leaves, radish, spring onion, peas, taters and a few raspberries.
