18th September

Finally went down the the allotment today :) due to to illness and no car i haven't been able to get down.
All of the potatoes are now out of the ground ,it looks very bare :( infact as me and callum looked around other plots it was a reminder of November last year when i went to view the allotment time has passed so quickly.
I brought a pumpkin home with me today i was very proud of it :) it is now curing so that it stores well  there are still 3 more there will add a picture soon...
The runner beans have finished now (yay) partly due to the fact i hacked at them before the winds came last week and they are still standing!!! well just, they are leaning over , I'll be pulling them up when I'm fully recovered i found out today i didn't have as much energy as i thought i would have very odd as nothing knocks me out!!
The sweetcorn hasn't come to much the cobs appear to have about 6 ripe corn things on them and that's it, having read about this on forums it seems I'm not alone ,i will give them another go next year i bought them as plants so ill have a go at growing from seed .
One of the other plot holders gave me some parsnips today which was very nice of him it's the same one who gave me some asparagus earlier in the year he doesn't go down very often, he also promised me some red currants bushes :) which reminds me i must get some pics up of the fruit bushes i have .
No idea when I'll get down next i know i wont be able to go on my bike for a while until i get over this properly :)
