Our onions were pulled up today. Not to bad for a first attempt. Spring onions to die for, red and white. ;D

Ha ha! Look at the clip of that bee! It's covered!  ;D

My hollyhocks haven't flowered yet. My sweet peas haven't either!  Oh dear.

Like your allotment DD.  Mine is still covered in black plastic and carpet,trying to kill off the weeds.   :(   One day it will look as nice as yours I hope.

Glad you like the lottment Heldi, weeds are a pain since we returned from holiday.
Starting to make a plan for the coming year as we try and clear the remnants of this years crop.
Wish I could get mine to grow like this. They belong to my neighbour.

Abso-bl**dy-lutely fabulous pics!  Wow your beans look amazing!  And your hollyhocks are to die for!  You obviously work very hard indeed, and it really shows.  Very very jealous of your lovely clean, unblemished onions also!
