back from two week holiday
« on: July 28, 2013, 07:02 »
Got back yesterday from our two week holiday, took a walk upto our allotment to find the broccoli has gone to seed and one of the beds has been took over by what looks like fat hen weed  :blink: its that thick i cant see my leeks or peas, radishes have also bolted, can they still be eaten ?, on a good note though we did get to harvest some of our hard work  :)

You took a holiay in the midst of growing season?  Brave boy.  I attempt to go away in October half term.  Should be ok then I hope.

Well, it looks like you got a nice harvest despite all of the weeds. It is the heavy rain I think, it did wonders for the crops, but wonders for the weeds too. :)

The radish may be a little woody but otherwise OK.

Fat hen is edible too - a bit like mild spinach

Lovely harvest there  :)
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
