Latest Allotment update.....

Last Wednesday, and Sunday, I had some help on here.....and very grateful I was to!!  The pictures show the dutiful weeding that needed to be done, but I also (by complete accident!!) pulled up my first crop!!  RADISHES!!!!!

And they tasted REALLY good!!!  Such a shame they didn't make it home, as me, my youngest and OH ate most of them on site!!!   Any way, as I was saying about my help....

       This is my friend helping with the watering, weeding, planting etc....

    

This lot of weeds weeds will not be attacked yet..

   

A row of beetroot's, soon to be harvested...

                                               
                                                   Second lot of courgettes safely planted...

Two rows of lettuce, transplanted by my friend, (she grew them too!!).  The green bottles are covering a few of them, and we're just gonna see what happens to the rest....slugs, snails, birds, too much rain....???

                   Talking of snails, here's two rather cute specimens.....I rather like the stripy one!!!

                                          Carrots, onions and beetroot's seem to be o.k....

                                        One last overall look before I leave..

Well, since this post, I have yet to get down to the allotment......  school fetes, 18th birthday celebrations to sort out, uni son returning home with LOADS of washing, crockery, cutlery etc....to find a home for... I'm sure most of you reading this will understand!!!
