jonathan and I decided to have a wonder down to the allotment after dinner and had to take refuge in the greenhouse during a little rain, which was fine as the tomatoes had gone a bit wild and needed tending. The rain only lasted five minutes and was little more than a normal shower,but after it died down we could still hear what sounded like a running bath. Here’s what we found…
This is the top of our plot and behind the fence is a little road that floods really easily, thank goodness for the the flood channel that runs along the top and down to the river.
Yesterday was a glorious day for the allotment and when I was busy with committee things Jonathan was busy harvesting some turnips and giving the place a little tidy up. Our plot was completely full until we harvested the early potatoes and the lettuce patch has slowly got smaller. We have just planted some iceburg lettuces that had been sown a few weeks ago and still have an abundance of little gem, while the courgettes keep going from strength to strength.
