beans beans and more beans!!

What a change in weather today was!!

Me and Callum went down to the allotment on Saturday morning and was surprised by how many were down there it's been quite a while since we have been on a Saturday morning i had a chat with a plot holder then got on with  picking runner and french beans,I'm getting loads one of the plot holders said it's been one of the best years for beans, the ones I'm picking from were started earlier than the other half of runner beans in the row so may have all this amount yet again to pick.
We pulled up some shallots and onions and picked a couple of courgettes then headed back home for something to eat
Today (Monday) we went again this time the allotment was deserted ,just us two until another man came as we were about to leave.
Today's main task was to take and fill up 2 more blue barrels that pete finally managed to saw in half for me, i did take them down and put them in place but then got distracted by weeds!! so they didn't get filled with soil.

Yes its been raining which means the weeds have sprung up all over again!! there were some knee high nettles and other weeds between my shed and the hedge Ive been putting it off as i thought it was a perfect hiding place for rats!!! but i was very brave pulled them all up and now it's tidy :)
my first cauliflower is still growing well I'm going to pull it up later in the week :) another first attempt is the celery also doing well and looking more like celery now
i noticed there were loads more beans ready so got picking shouldn't complain but it takes ages came away with another half a carrier bag and a courgette then i pulled up the last of my shallots and a few more onions took them home to dry out
Had my first disaster growing at the allotment and it's the lettuce they have either rotted (not due to watering as i didn't water the leaves  ) or they have been full of bugs so next year ill grow them at home only lesson learned!!
