Gosh, you must LOVE parsnips!

I fed my ailing 'Incredible' sweetcorn, harvested some shallots and onions and put them on some racks to dry, and dug the bed over ready for the brassicas that are following on. Planted out a few Strawberry Sweetcorn plants I picked up at GWL yesterday from Robinsons, and also had a major sowing session of beans, lettuce, late Zinneas, PSB and yet more sweetcorn........
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

did some watering and weeding and picked my first bunch of sweet peas.  At home we ate our first two baby carrots I sowed in a large pot way back in february- they were delicious!

Picked red raspberries and blueberries.
Transplanted some flowers- risky in this heat.

Watered and pinched out toms, potted on some toms, peppers and aubergine into final pots. Cleared most of the Brassica bed in polytunnel, planted some climbing beans. Dug a Elephant and normal garlic, nearly ready  ;D

Hand weeded my carrot bed. Harvested garlic - lovely crop, really pleased. Dug the rest of the early spuds, pathetic but will do us a couple of meals. Picked broad beans. Added more support strings to the tall peas, now flowering. Watered the celery and celeriac and the ground where I sowed some beetroot last week.

Watering and mulching.  Plant out some peppers I bought for 50p in B&Q and some tomatoes.  Chatted to various allotment neighbours. Watched the sun set.

When I get home tonight I shall be as others on here, WATERING FOR FOOD.
The other plants shall have to wait their turn and chance there is some left over for them to have. ;D
No point trying to do anything else as the light will have faded by then. :(
Still I am off tomorrow and boy those weeds wont stand a chance, and more planting to do.
I must not get ahead of myself or I will be digging up plants and planting weeds at this rate. :-[

Got them back now to put some tread on them
