The joy of allotments – growing

As ever the months of June and July have seen progress in the allotments zipping along.  Seeds sown in open ground have germinated and rapidly turned into sturdy young plants and the seeds sown under cover earlier in the year that were planted out as young plants are now established and in the case of the greenhouse thriving.
