After years of waiting, I finally got offered an additional full plot to go with my existing half plot. It was terribly overgrown, full of weeds and brambles.
With a bit of work it was soon like this
And after a hard day with a cultivator yesterday:
Lots of work still to do of course.
Well, it has been a pretty good year at the allotment. We've had a good harvest of most of the veg planted.
The runner beans have been exceptional and are still going strong. Two courgette plants have produced a glut which we are slowly working through with ever more ingenuous recipes, last nights was courgette fritters.
The carrots weren't great, but were tasty.
A good crop of onions, but disappointing crop of garlic with most of it failing to 'bulb'.
There was a good crop of strawberries early on, and the raspberries are continuing to produce, but are starting to mould.
