Allotments 4 All

Thanks Hector. Didn't want to show my ignoramous, my bet, probably pottering.

watched the rain rain rain :(
and prayed against blight :(

Not allowed out today, as have to go to grand daughters presentation, or whatever.  Still it will do me good not to watch everything grow and dig up things before they are ready to see how they are doing.  With the rain should be some runner beans to pick tomorrow and have some friends that want some.  Just looked in the freezer and still have blackberries from last year, and am starting to pick them this year.  What do I do???  Have made jam but we can't eat it all and next door likes it, but probably not good enough to give to strangers, don't want to poison anyone, apart from me and OH.  What can I do with all my frozen redcurrants????  How much jelly can one eat.

Got the strimming done and a bit of weeding before the rain came down :(

Picked a nice size marrow for tea tonight :D

Now as its still raining going to prep the rest of my beetroot for the freezer and pickle some of my shallots :)

Drown... :P

Just popped up today for some spuds. Saving meself for tomorrow if the weathers ok.

Watered all the greenhouses, except the one I did yesterday, potted out some tomato side shoots, lifted some onions and put to dry, cut some Kohl Rabi... drowned again....  ::)

I also harvested some beetroot and my first runners.  :P      ;D ;D ;D

Been turning pallets into strawberry cages and rushing for cover when it rained!
Went for a walk round tonight and ended up hoeing weeds! :P

Picked more courgettes........ note to self don't need 12 plants next year :-[..... Picked another carry bag of runners ;D good job there my fav veg :D.
Brought all my onions in to dry as its so wet here and done a bit of weeding

Got the broad bean haulms out and dug them into the onion trench with the manure ready for the Jap onions to go into in the autumn. Ower Tone dug over the ground that the broad beans had been in and I planted the brocolli plants. Just hope that we get a crop off em before the winter sets in. Finished taking the leaves off the strawberries while ower Tone get the old Brocolli plants out. A good days work

:swam:  ::)

Watered, got hot in the sun.  ;D ;D ;D  Picked blackberries, runner beans, french beans.  Got given a marrow.  Resisted the tempation to pick sweet corn, told have to wait until the moustache goes black.  Nick cut the bottom leaves off my toms, and I watered the pumpkin its four watering cans a day as per instructions.

Dried up enough for me to get in the garden and pick runner beans and green sprouting brocolli, oh and rhubarb. ;D

After the scorcher yesterday  8) in Enfield, the weather was better for the lottie today, so I ripped out the peas and weeded around the french beans, watered  and found where the beans had been hiding.  :o
I also harvested some more earlies, they are getting big now and some have slug damage, so me thinks its time to get them out the ground.   ???      ;D ;D ;D
