Cracking Ground 2

Well the promised rain on Friday didn't happen so there was little I could do up the allotment as the soil is concrete again. So it fell back to favourite standby of cutting the grass on the paths. (mental note to add small push mower to my Christmas present list) I did also clear a small area of the strawberry patch.

Pictured left are some French Beans - I planted them late this year due to my failure to clear the area of weeds in time. Can't remember if it was late July or Early August - but they seem to be producing beans. Although I am not sure that they will continue with the recent change in temperature (only 6 degrees last night).

Wasn't a bad harvest this weekend, beetroot, carrots, courgettes and a couple of small pumpkins. I will need to make sure that I clear the rest of the pumpkins well before the end of October.

I have now eaten the last of the potatoes and the tomatoes are starting to run out.
