Lots of light sunny evenings means lots of opportunity to get down to the plot. My pak choi appears to have bolted without getting big enough to harvest – a bit grim really. But the sweet peas are looking good, so every day I go to do a bit of watering or hoeing, at least I come back with something.

Its interesting looking at other plots. I guess because a third of our plot is effectively ‘wild’, given over to overgrown (although less overgrown than they were) rasps/gooseberries/rhubarb, we don’t have as much space as many. But it strikes me that we’ve done a little of lots of things, rather than a lot of something. and maybe we should do something different next year. And earlier! Seeing the stage of many people’s courgettes/beans/peas/sweetcorn makes me thing NEXT year I will be doing More and Earlier.

I’m starting to think about the winter, though. There’s still just about time to sow some more leeks, carrots, and cabbages. I’ve got caulis and broccoli starting at home. I’ll definitely do more overwinter garlic and onions – and probably more this year than that which I’ve just harvested. And I’ve got brussel sprout plants at home which I MUST plant out, but I’ve only got three and I don’t want to lose them to slugs. So we need to build another cage – or sacrifice something under an existing cage – and soon.
