Haven't posted for a while, been catching up with posts.....is everyone having a good growing season? I seem to have done well all round, the birds have also had a feast still have lots of currants and gooseberries to pick, fruit has certainly been a winner.
Well done GWRS, I entered the Great Eccleston Show again, got a coupe of firsts for cooking and some seconds and a 3rd for fruit and veg. I won the disaster section too..LOL with a misshaped turnip.
Zoomer well done , always worth giving these shows ago Summer fruits done well , gooseberrys , all berries & summer raspberries Picked and finished O/h did make some Rhubard & Ginger cordial which makes a really nice drink with lemonade Empty beds so dry So far potatoes are small
G/H hit 47.9 degrees today . For the first time ever have white fly on chillies 🌶 Toms are hopeless and outdoor ones at allotment not looking to good Cucumbers are coming but !
Went to plot yesterday and put up planks on small shed back will need to paint it, my small shed is getting there, saw a dragonfly the other day so big,
Some of tomatoes on plot are starting to go red - spare plants to ones in garden they are still green
Very hot day but thunder , lighting and torrential rain at about 6-20 tonight , just got inside in time , still raining Glad hadn’t watered allotment or garden Hoping to go to plot tomorrow to dig up potatoes 🥔, tops flowered and died ages ago Had a good fire 🔥 in a fire dustbin yesterday , load of prunings
Hello , well nice weather just keeps coming Been to Allotment this afternoon and burnt a load of prunings Started to pick pears 🍐 from trees planted last year doing much better than apple 🍏 trees that have been in for years Decided to get rid of a plum tree that I planted when first got plot , never had more than 2 plums , this year again none ! I did warn it ! Hope you are all keeping well
Lost my 2 pears on tree in pot because of storm weather and tree new this year
At allotment plot beans fell over really bad windy weather (storm even though not named) with rain on weekend - lots of beans went over on peoples plots,
my cane broke on one - just about stood up, pumpkin growing well
Allotment show tomorrow so making flower arrangement to enter
