8 July

Bit later than usual, about 9 a.m. Weeded beetroot on bottom allotment and picked 5 full punnets of strawberries (weight 2.3Kgs). Also picked a few raspberries.

The pumpkin plant is about 6 feet long now and the butternut squash has started to shoot too.

Loads of broad beans coming now, took some of those home along with a bunch of sweet peas.

Covered up the strawberries with the Wondermesh at last now I can get into my shed.

Sun came out at 11:00 for the last 40 minutes - wow! At least it didn't rain.

Dug up another 3 early potatoes - still some left in the first bed.
