fresh air, fresh veg
I had no intention of going out to the allotment today
due to the weather but by mid afternoon I wanted some fresh air and thought the plants in the greenhouse would need some water,so took myself off out.The greenhouse yielded 2 green peppers ( to give the others on the plant some space), 4 red tomatoes and I tidied up the plants removing dead or yellowing leaves. More carrots from the barrels and still more to come. The white turnips are giving a great return, next year we will do successive sowings from march to June to have a continuous supply of them as everyone loves the taste! A new addition to the harvest is the baby beetroots.

Our scarecrow standing stoically despite wind and rain, looking a bit faded but still doing his duty.
The leeks are growing, still in their holes, but they must be earthed up from Sept on.
A close up of the monster developing under the foliage of the pumpkins on the bank of horse manure!

I will be doing the beetroot for Janice during the week.
Thanks for the veg
I am glad the scarecrow is doing his duty. I always love to look at the different scarecrows.
You all have did a good job on the gardening. It is fun, isn't it?
