Weeded the onions and cut the grass and general weeding
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

Lots of weeding and watering. Inspected the bush toms that I grew from seeds - lots and lots of baby toms, if we just had some sum they would be ready soon.  ::) ::)

Nearly melted when I opened the little polytunnel  :ohmy: :ohmy:

Brought some beetroot home to roast for dinner

Sat in the sun and shelled some borad beans

and cut a big bunch of sweet peas

We had our Middle Summer meeting on site in and around the Chalet.
After, I just enjoyed the plots in the glorious sunshine and warmth!

Very warm and humid today, so probably not a good day for digging out a new raised bed and tackling the wilderness at the top of the plot.  But that's what we did. 

Did a bit of weeding, harvested some more potatoes, the first pea pods and yum yum, our first strawberries.

A bit too hot and sticky to get much done, but I strimmed the grass, did a bit of weeding and picked a few raspberries and strawberries before giving everything a good soak.  Harvested some broccoli and planted out a few sprouts in between my (almost ready to harvest) cabbages so they can get started for the autumn. 

Various soap opera dramas going on in the background, some local kids are using one of the sheds as a den, and one of my neighbours was sleeping off a hangover in his this morning. Plot pest and plot rep are at loggerheads, so it's all fun and games.

planted my peppers into grow bags (think I'm too late to expect anything off them...)

picked a big bowl of strawberries (and foraged among them for the mean little slugs that are eating into them!)

mowed the lawn

weeded out about 3000 tiny niger plants from underneath our bird feeder!

Tidied up some pots and disturbed a frog. Spent the next half hour building him a new (and improved) home!
