Allotment Update

I feel like I am finally making progress with the allotment. I have either cleared or covered all of the weedy areas and am keeping on top any new weeds with the hoe. It is starting to look tidy, well tidier.



There has been a few failures, I had very patchy germination with my parsnips, there are a few growing but with big gaps in between. I've sewn some radishes in the gaps so as  not to waste space.



The borlotti beans, sweetcorn and butternut squash seem to be doing well.


And all the potatoes are thriving although I live in fear of the dreaded blight.


Most importantly I am able to take home buckets of vegetable for our evening meals.
