We have been away for the last few days, first at my Nan’s funeral and then on a golfing trip with Laura (my sister) and Neil (where we also worked on their vegetable patches).  We travelled home this morning and as the weather cleared up in the afternoon, I trundled down to the allotment for a bit of harvesting and checking.

Things are now growing really well as the photo below shows.

However, I am still a bit worried about the condition of the early potatoes, which don’t look as healthy as the main crops.

We are now starting to harvest a number of crops (courgettes, baby beetroot, rocket, peas and early potatoes)
