Our beetroot isn't playing ball at all this year. :(

Our beetroot has gone bonkers this year, i'll swap you some beets for some corn! ;)

Now there's an offer! :D It must be the weather or more accurately the general temperature up here this "summer", I think Debz (in Glasgow) said her beetroot isn't doing well either. :(

First runners of the year, and several kilos of shallots - nice banana ones as well as round  :D

and of course some courgettes to share  ;)

Lots of lovely black Tuscan kale, peas, 1 pak choi, a Webb's wonder lettuce, some Edgecote Purple potatoes and wonder of wonders some large carrots untroubled by carrot fly.  The fleece has done the trick.

Our temps have not been good either but I have had some lovely beetroot - really yummy.  :) (runs away and hides).

My first tomato at long last.  A tumbling tom hopefully to be followed by lots more.  Oh and a couple of little gem lettuce.  First time growing them and they look good.

At the risk of double posting, I've posted this also in my diary as I'm trying to keep a record at least for myself, even if no one else is interested!

Something I don't get to see very often. Next to it is one of my garlics, harvested today. There's only 5 cloves in it, so no peeling piddly little ones.



(It's a £2 coin, and "Music" hard-neck garlic, by the way!)

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I do like music, when it grows well it really does grow well.

I picked some tomatoes - poor yield this year but I can't complain about the fruit.

Half a carrier bag of the last Rocket potatoes
All the way from my allotment in beautiful Derbyshire. I'm in year 3 of my allotment and wish I'd caught the bug years ago, things growing from strength to strength
