Apologies for the lack of report again. The weekend was work, work, work. I didn't realise how hot it got in the greenhouse. Here is proof. You can also see what a wonderful view it is across the allotment. We have made a start on laying the paths between the beds and a hugh amount of bark chippings are being moved. As well as the paths, we are covering the black plastic sheet around the fruit and I have planted six courgette plants which should give enough courgettes to feed the whole of the northern hemisphere let alone Old Basing, Lychpit and Hartley Wintney.
The walking stick cabbages looked a sorry site but a good soaking and they soon recovered. They are ready to go in the ground and the rate at which they are growing, they are going to need good staking. Shame we didn't grow them last year to give stakes for this year.
We do have a crop other than raddish (which are huge by the way) we now have baby turnips, which are the thinnings from the rows. They are very tasty and ready to be casserolled. We also have loads of salad leaf and will soon have gooseberries as long as the pigeons don't get there first. The tomatoes are setting and there are quite a few tiny ones already.
