Cant wait to get down the plot today, had a good drop of rain so no too much waterering to do i hope. Going to plant out my Caulis grown from seed and have 4 more tomato plants to plant. Space is getting short... do i need a bigger plot?

[Sid]

Weeded around cauli's and cabbages.
Dug up somemore amaroza spuds and some beetroot,then rain stopped play.

[Gandan57]

Beautiful morning and planted out some A Cosse Violette plants from where the potatoes came out yesterday. Was able to reach from the grass path but couldn`t do anything else as it was too wet from last night`s almost a third of an inch of rain. Not that I`m complaining.

[Vit]

Got some more big boys toys. Heavy rain was today, so nothing to do "on the field" for a couple days 

[Grubbypaws]

Harvested some salad turnips that were getting enormous; still delicious though.

Covered the pepper plants and courgettes in case this frost tonight happens.

Stared forlornly at my non existent potatoes; at least they haven't put their heads out just to get bitten by frost on their first night.

Wondered if I would ever get the hang of  'succession' planting as we try to cope with the Pak Choi glut.

Wished that I had a real allotment rather than my cacophany of raised beds in the front garden.

[AnneB]

Well we went to Matt's plot and he cooked us bacon sandwiches for breakfast (all profits to our Association). 

Then down to work, we finished assembling another raised bed, planted it with Kale (Nero di Toscana), red cabbage and cabbage.  Netted it with the free debris netting from the scaffolding company.  Planted a row of radish.  Watered a lot, ground very dry, still not much rain.  Still terrible wind blowing most of the time.

Peas and broad beans coming along nicely.  Runner beans and french beans still look a bit yellow and straggly.  Onions doing nicely but leaves a bit bent.  Had a rootle in the potatoes and both the 1st earlies (Tuskar) and 2nd earlies (Edgecote Purple) are coming along very nicely.  Another week I think.  All in all a good day.
