We have missed two days at the allotment, due to commitments of a sporting nature, and everything was gasping for water. We also had forgotten about the little smattering of rain on Tuesday night which had made the weeds grow like mad. It was also time to do some thinning of the beetroot and this gave us quite a nice bunch. The beets will be pickled and should fill at least one jar, and the leaves will be boiled as a vegetable accompaniment tomorrow evening.
Plot 53 has come up trumps for pudding, a nice little gooseberry and raspberry crumble I think. A bit more gooseberry than raspberry I must admit but that might be because we couldn't resist doing a taste test on the raspberries.
