Update from the allotment

It is a while since we have been to the allotment but we managed a few hours at the weekend. The greatest success we are having this year is with fruit, which just tends to itself. Now that it is carpetted (work in progress) the moisture keeps in so the only watering is to the strawberries that are in the old duck ponds. The end that hasn't had carpet put down yet is being taken over by raspberry canes so we are going to have to do some selective cutting back

The goji berry is going mad and the Kiwi fruit have recovered from their frost and are growing up the posts but there is still no sign of fruit.






The red currents are turning red and the white currents are weighed down with fruit. I really do need to start using up the bags still left in the freezer so may have to turn them into jam.












... and what about them figs!
