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 !
