It rained yesterday. I was quite happy about this, although so were the weeds. So off I tootled to the allotment this evening. Sadly, as I have a bruise which covers most of my left calf (not an exaggeration) what I could do was limited, but I managed to pick gooseberries, harvest a row of early potatoes, do a lot of weeding, plant cannellini beans, and another row of beetroot. Also, I sprayed my whitefly infested Brussel sprouts, and fleeced them off hopefully against what ever is munching on them.

But I did take quite a few photos.

My nursed purple podded peas, surviving their transplant but not looking quite as healthy as I’d like.

Some big fat onions, and intruding potato plants.

The potato plants in the right place, although not giving huge amounts of crops, owing to our dry dry spring.

a pumpkin plant, with sweetcorn in the corner.

Some general views of the plot



Leek heads about to flower

Healthy looking carrots (a yellow variety)

And, finally, my flowering mangetout.
