7th July

Things are getting busy at the allotment constant watering,weeding and more importantly harvesting :)
This week I've been digging up more new potatoes as i need them I'm still only on the second row they have done really well getting loads from the plants , i did an experiment with a small bag of "rocket" first earlies they did as well in quantity but we all decided we preferred the taste of the other which is foremost ... i still want to experiment more next year with another variety too but so far very pleased
Went down today as i needed some courgettes that plant really is a monster I'm so glad i didn't plant more than one I'm getting lots from it and will definatley grow the same one next year

Right next to the courgette is the pumpkin which is amazing i try and visit every other day weather allowing and it amazes me as when i go down every time its grown

Peas well i spent ages picking them today almost an hour in fact it was the one time i wish i had my son callum with me to help ..still a few left been very pleased with the amount of pods produced on this variety which is early onward but inside the pods they can be hit and miss ,so will be trying a different one next year which has been recommended to me

that basket is crammed with peas shame about a quarter of them had been visited by the pea moth and left horrid things inside ..lesson learnt keep netted next year!!
Lastly here is a sneak preview of my runner beans :)

Hopefully I'll find a break between showers to go again this weekend :)
