Courgettes
Peas
Broad beans
A tiny romanesco broccoli

OK, not from the allotment, but from Ben and Sarah's vege patch ... but so excited, had to post it !
And yes, my friends, that

28th June - First Harvest !
Yay ! Our first harvest today. Beetroot, turnip, lettuce and loads of strawberries.
The weekly slog of weeding went on, but the allotment is looking great now.
Planted our the courgettes, did some watering, and thinned out the swede.
The sweetcorn has also started to fruit. Well ahead of the game compared to other plots !
Harry and Joe planting courgettes
Sarah weeding the carrots, which haven't really germinated that well.
Matt planting some more beetroot
14th June - more weeding
Lots more weeding ... not much else to say !
