    I agree, on the Allotment all the Apples are smothered,  the old Bramley at home not so much.

    It's the down year for the plum this year, so not expecting much.

    Desperate sowing of seeds in the polytunnel this morning before we're completely out of the window for those things to grow.

    I've also patched up some of the damage to the tunnel cover. Need to find some fine mesh material - net curtains would do - to replace the damaged insect netting on the windows.

    Our two boys chose what they'd like to sow and they're going to have their own areas where they can plant whatever they like wherever.

    Pleased to say,  I  got the roof netting on the brassica cage,  so was able to plant cabbage and green Calibrese.  Also planted peas I had raised in  root trainers.
