What a difference 2 weeks makes!
« on: August 19, 2015, 18:09 »
Just been on hols for 2 weeks and can't believe how much everything has grown.
Before I went, the only real harvest I had had was fruit.
Everything was so small and peas and beans were yet to crop. Had small amount of spinach but beetroot were few and far between and tiny. Chard and turnip were slow growing and the plot had way too much bare soil!
Today my plot was a sea of green.
There were weeds yes but apart from the strawberry bed which was pretty bad, nothing that a few sessions won't sort out.  :)
This is my third year on my plot and it is the best it has ever looked  :)
Am so glad my hard work has finally paid off!

Well done  :D  I've just read your post in onions from seed saying how pleased you were with your crop, so its great you have come back to an abundance of other veg as well   :)

It is a great feeling isn't it  :D

Had lovely hols thanks. Northern Brittany for the first time and was gorgeous.
Having an abundance of everything on the plot is a first for me this year and you are right, it is a lovely feeling  :)
Only problem is finding the time to actually pick it all between having to go to work  :D
