I haven't been keeping up to date with this blog!!! which wont be useful next year when i want to look back and compare growing .....
There are 2 things that have done badly this year at the allotment they are onions which bolted,split and then rotted and the first lot of beetroot that were attacked my flea beetle .
Next year i will sow the beetroot much later in the year as only a few weeks ago i started off some in the greenhouse then planted out ,they were picked today!! really big too I'm impressed.
All of the squashes......pumpkin,courgettes,and butternut squash are doing very well i did panic a few weeks ago because of the cold wet weather they were struggling but they are doing fantastic
The runner bean harvest is is full swing so every time i go there are lots to pick then i come home and spend ages chopping them for the freezer that way we can enjoy them all year round.
My potatoes did get blight but the second and first earlies were eaten and the were fine ..... the maincrops ,i ended up chopping the leaves and stems and now I'm gradually digging them up to store them fingers crossed they will be ok the red roosters have done really well I'm impressed ..... i have another 2 rows of others to dig up then that will be it for another year :)
