By Jules, on August 22nd, 2010% The kids and I spent a couple of hours tidying up and harvesting.
Got two bags full of beans, the last mega-turnip, beetroot, artichokes, some cavolo nero leaves, two large and one medium-sized marrows, a courgette and three onions. Also harvested some unexpected broccoli, the last three garlic heads and one and a half of plants’ worth of potatoes (the ones that aren’t Anya!) Cut the tops of one row of the spuds but ran out of time to do the rest.
Red cabbage is looking good – some decent heads forming. Ditto the celeriac.
Brought home some poppy heads to scatter the seeds in the garden here to add some colour for next year.
By Phil, on July 31st, 2010% Back from holiday, Jules, Jm & Kt went to check on allotment.
Harvested 1 bag of broad beans (grubbed up plants). a couple of large courgettes (just short of marrow-sized) and some smaller ones, a bag of spinach, a couple of plants-worth of potatoes (anya), half dozen small artichokes, one lettuce (others had bolted), spring onion, turnips, beetroot, 2kg redcurrants, some raspberries, strawberries and a blackberry.
The peas have dried up and died while we were away, but overall, apparently, the plot loots OK.
By Phil, on July 7th, 2010% Jules went down to harvest stuff before we go on holiday. She got:
A carrier bag of lettuce
Some spring onions
A bunch of beetroot
Some peas
Some broad beans
A decent amount of rasps and strawberries
