Quiet week

Well, its been quite a quiet week at the allotment, weather hasn't been great, and when it has been good i've mostly been out on the bike.

Popped in on the way past today to make sure everything was ok, and it is, even the weeds don't seem to be too bad at the moment.


Cut a few stalks of celery to try (very nice, stronger taste than from the shop) and brought back some chives too.

The early potateos seem to be loosing their colour a bit, they'll have been in about 10 weeks next Friday, so hopefully they'll be ready to pull up very soon - there was one plant looking a little worse for wear so dug it up and got a few potatoes from it, although if the few I've dug up so far are anything to go by, there wont be that many potatoes from the earlies !

The first pumpkin, found another still with flower so pollinated that one.
I'm still a bit dissappointed that there's lots of work gone in so far and not much has come out, but have to keep reminding myself that only 2 months ago, it was a grassy bit of field.

And another first, a very small cauliflower.
