Today has been beautifully sunny for most of the day so we got our jobs done in the morning then set off to the allotment to give everything a good watering.
The eating apples (unknown variety) are small and lots have been nibbled by something but I think quite a few will be OK. We have no idea how soon we can pick them so will just have to play it by ear....
The cooking apples, Bramley's we think, are doing well but, each time we go, there are windfalls on the ground all blighted. At this rate there will be none left to pick. Does anyone have a clue why they are dropping please?
The bed below contains healthy leeks, lettuce and chard.....
These are the potatoes. We are digging up a plant every few days, working our way from left to right.....
We have grown these sunflowers to feed the birds and insects and will leave them in place until the seeds have all been eaten.....
Below is a mixed bed of peas and celery and behind that a bed of green manure which G intends to dig in around the end of October to enrich the soil....
Our pride and joy are the runner beans. They are so healthy looking and already producing mature pods. We took a bag of them to my brother as well as some freshly dug new potatoes, a lettuce and some chard. Its exciting feeding others!
Changing the subject....I can't get along with this new blogger either. It won't let me do certain things 😕 which I did perfectly well before. I HATE change, do you?
A warm welcome to Debby and Anna, my new followers, hello!
Anyway thats all my news for now.
Stay safe wherever in the world you happen to be x
