The allotment is getting productive - probably why I haven't had much time to blog about it!
Blackcurrants - more than we and our freezer can cope with!
Strawberries - likewise!
Raspberries - getting that way!
First courgettes appearing - I am sure we have a book somewhere entitled "what can we do with all those courgettes?!"
Peas flowering
First lot of potatoes ready for picking - will do this when we have got through the sack that we bought for a fiver up on the Yorkshire Wolds
Lettuce - happy and slug free for a change
Carrots - several lots now planted
Onions - eating the overwintered ones, summer ones growing happily
Blueberry bush is not happy - my mum said it is a deficiency caused by the fact we have a clay alcali soil and not a acid soil.
Pears - still got some black spot - treating with Diphane 945 - not organic I know but the only thing available that can cure it apparantly.
31.8 deg C today!
