First visit last night since coming back off holiday. Managed about 45 minutes.
No watering duties were required by my parents while we were away!
There's quite a few weeds round the main crop potaotes on the top allotment.
Managed to hoe round the courgette, squash and pumpkins.
On the bottom allotment I dug up my first 2 roots of early potatoes (Rocket) and got 14 decent sized spuds although not as many as last year.
The first broad beans have formed:
The peppers haven't done much yet but look healthy enough:
unlike the ones in the greenhouse at home which are fruiting well:
The second earlies look good:
as do the radish and spicy salad leaves although the peas aren't great (as usual for me!):
The cabbage bed needs weeding but they look a bit behind. Need to take wondermesh off and sort it out:
Carrots doing ok - relatively weed free:
Celeriac growing well - foliage looks much thicker:
Plenty of strawberries coming too, will have to cover them up with the wondermesh soon:
Plenty still to do and a fair bit of weeding required on next visit.
