Yesterday i planted at the allotment 15 runner bean plants - got about same again to plant in another few weeks.

Weeded everywhere - (amazed how quickly i can do the whole plot now - first year it would take me a week now i can do it in an hour or two)

Todays plan is to plant 10 climbing french bean plants
Plant 15 sprout plants
Decide what im going to do with some swede - sowed them in modules and know they arent meant to like being moved much - might stick em in - might leave em a bit longer

Noticed mangetout where flowering - not that high though - not sure if this is right?

We planted out the leeks and celery. watered the veg. weeded.

Dug some more plot (only two and a quarter beds to go and we have done the allotment over once for the first time).

  managed to buy a comfrey plant of farmer's market - been looking for some.

planted up some beetroot i sarted off in modules, planted up some lettuce for the slugs to eat  ??? solved my space problem and hoed like mad - oh i also thinned my raspberry canes and scattered some chicken poo around for fun too! prepared the ground for my little boy to come and help tomorrow planting up some of the brassicas, toddlerproofed my completely dangerous allotment and tried not to get blown off my feet.

Well I've watered, harvested two lettuces, planted two sweet potato plants in the greenhouse, thinned out carrot seedlings and my son picked mint leaves which we spread over the carrots to distract the carrot fly. :tongue2:
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

Weeded strawberry bed and dug up volunteer potatoes.  Weeded maincrop potatoes (PFA and Arbo).

Was really glad to see my peas and broad beans were still there after the gales.


Planted another bunch of chives. Sowed a pot with carrot and onion and also a pot with a Stargazer lily surrounded by anemones.

Harvested some spinach and 4 radishes.
