Well, apart from forgetting to pick some sweetcorn, I came home with courgettes, borlotti beans, a sunflower and rhubarb today. Not bad for a qiuck job there! Laid some weed suppressing fabric down on a bit of our wilderness section – I might try potatoes there next year.

Talking about potatoes, the ‘Christmas potatoes’ I planted just six weeks ago are about to flower. VERY quick. I wonder if there’s anything underneath any of them?

Things still doing well on the allotment: leeks (we’re going to have LOADS of leeks) parsnips (including the row I forgot I planted, come up through the pumpkins), squash, pumpkins (only two fruit, but they’re pumpkin sized ), green beans (I don’t like them enough though) carrots, sprouts – needed to raise the ‘cage’ today using a couple of borrowed bricks, cabbage and brocolli I planted a few weeks ago.

Need to plant: onions and garlic. I’ve ordered a garlic lovers kit from the garlic farm on the Isle of Wight, I think we’re going to have A LOT of garlic (but I’m not really bothered by that ).

Not going to palnt ever again: courgettes. Of course, I will plant them again, but at the moment I think I’ve had my fill…
