heck just noticed it's been a month since i updated on here. The main reason for this is when i go down at the moment it's to pick runner beans !! and french beans and im sure noone wants to read that over and over so here is what is going on ....
The allotment has a bare patch now where the first early potatoes were im still busy digging second earlies as and when i need them.
All onions and shallots have been lifted and are now hung in the shed
The 2 cauliflowers i grew as an experiment turned out well and both picked so will grow more of them next year :)
cabbages also doing well despite me digging them up and finding club root :( so far it hasnt made any different to the growing of anything but this might be because i limed the area before i planted them apparently liming slows down the clubroot so again will grow some more next year
The sweetcorn won't be much longer now had a peep yesterday they have done well quite pleased with them
brocolli is just to big and flowers to easily before you get to pick it did try some and wasnt keen so wont grow that again
carrots did well and some still growing in the blue tubs
The courgette is still going mad very pleased i only grew one plant and nearby i have 4 large pumpkins turning orange
The celery is still growing not ready yet
swedes hmmm i havent looked after them like i should have and some have split but think they will be ok we shall see again take up too much room not sure if ill bother next year even though i have impressed the alloment people with growing them
Brussels doing well though im sure they will soon be ready to pick which is not what i wanted i planted them when it said to in time for xmas
runner and french beans seem to be slowing down a bit now never had a year as good as this
parsnips i hope are doing ok wont be ready for a while yet until first frosts have been its makes them sweeter
not sure what the leeks are up to i must have a look
ill get some more pics on my facebook allotment wall soon :)
