Went to the allotment yesterday haven't had time to go down for a proper dig around :(
Me and Callum popped down after school last week to collect the last 3 pumpkins that were ripe brought them home quite pleased with all 4
Yesterday had a good clearing session dug up the pumpkin and courgette plants they have all finished now then had to move to the other side of my allotment as some fat balding workmen were shouting abuse from the road like have you got oat for note grrrrr then went to remove my runner bean supports and dug them all up i left the roots in as they are good for the soil
Had a chat with another plot holder which made the fat balding men shut up!!!
Everything was damp even had to wear my wellies haven't worn them in such a long time it smelt really damp too reminded me of when i went to view my allotment for the first time which will be a year ago in 4 weeks!!!!
I still have parsnips, Brussels sprouts, 1 cabbage ,celery, leeks and swede left to pick it's looking very empty now, next year i'll know to sow spring cabbages and cauliflowers
Hoping to get my car back soon as i need to have a very good weed and dig around!!!
Wow look at them, I've never had any success with pumpkins. Do tell me how you did it!
