    Great crop Lyn :). Onions look the perfect size for storing. Mine are fully dried off now, at least 2 weeks earlier than normal.
    Do you just leave them in the sun to dry?

    This is the third day in a row I have picked this many French beans, and the pick before them was bigger, so I have concluded this year is a good year for French beans but I think it will end early.

    @purplerallim Yes I think this is happening to a lot of us things are very productive but short lived, as in spring the season seems to be compressed, a lot of my Plot neighbours have taken their climbing beans down already because they have stopped producing & dried up already. Mine are ok for now as I was late with them.

    Mine were about a month late being planted(holiday) so similar reason.
  • Maincrop potato Mozart. They were still growing but other plotholders were reporting significant slug damage after the rains a week or so ago, so I thought I would get them out. There was some damage but not too bad compared to some others.


    1 root.

    The rest of the crop not bad from 2 full rows. Filled two sacks, in store now.

  • Nice crop of potatoes @Allotment Boy didn't plant any this year used area for red spring onions ( bought as little bits of grass looking) which cropped well , will get again next year. Tomatoes are slowly ripening but will not have the numbers of last year, mainly due to a third of my crop being Black Russians which were rubbish. 
  • The fruits of our labours, 66 squash and counting.  Also over 100 courgettes, cooking apples, 50+ beetroot and the usual herbs, carrots, radish and cucumbers (only 10 this year).
