@purplerallim , hello , just had an almighty down pour , it seems to me to be very localised , was going to cut lawns but far to wet now Hopefully it filled my water butts as they are empty Picked our first courgettes from allotment the other day and some blueberries 🫐
My water butt is overflowing now @GWRS , it came down in floods. Even while I was out today it was spitting, and we are due some more. The poor Sunchocola cherry toms outside were nearly ready, so a few burst with the sudden surplus watering.
In non vegetable related allotment news...we have a string trio from the London Symphony Orchestra playing at our site on Sunday which is such a fun prospect. Hoping for a good crowd for it, we could do with some beauty.
Will post a few on the day on Twitter but here's the poster @GWRS@Allotment Boy Hopefully a nice way to get the neighbourhood to pop in...and an nice way for the orchestra to play in a totally unfamiliar location 😉
@amancalledgeorge That sounds interesting, do you have big area where they will play
@Allotment Boy Lot of blight on our site potatoes and tomatoes
Did a bit of strimming today little on path off plot and part car park area
not doing to well at minute lost one of my chickens in the coop last week think to heat stress/ stroke after doing an egg that morning, whish I had left the coop door open night before
We will be using the parking space near the entrance to the plots as it will give them a nice level and concreted floor. With a marquee in case the weather turns wet @Gardengirl.. it will certainly be novel and have had some good responses on social media and other plot holders.
My few tomatoes are still growing and doing well, runner beans now in flower and few tiny bits of beans on my french beans - purple queen dwarf ones - would like to grow them again really pretty purple flowers.
keep getting male flowers on my squash plants so none growing yet
few people turned up today that have not been there for a good while think they know that the council officer come back from holiday this week so prob do an inspection soon - as they were ones that we think got letters to improve their plot last time she came around
