Hi all, still Gardengirl.. but name got save and changed after forum messing up on weekend trying to sort it back
Went to the allotment today after getting bits of wood out of a skip near by home sorting of soil back into a hole the area which will be my trail bed, got rained on - lucky when the heavy rain came we were in the car having lunch
A really busy time this month but efforts on plot worth it
had early starts to avoid the heat and to-ing and fro-ing on rainy days to weed, plant out and stake things up. Not forgetting my very first harvest of mange tout
Help , Pak choi and chard have all got mottled effect on leaves anybody got any ideas why ? Going to have to grub it up , should have put picture on site
bit of rain yesterday , sunny so far , going up to A on Saturday morning to get water cubes filled up
Hi all, got a good soaking at the plot yesterday but at least that meant not having to get the hose pipe out for a change. Interesting to see who is harvesting what at the moment, my fruit has been pretty poor this year, but I have gluts of peas and beans, chard,celery,beetroot, endive,cabbage, spinach etc. Cauliflowers,Sweetcorn and squash doing really well ( I nearly gave up with the squash as it was taking ages to get going, now i have had to install a climbing frame for it!)
Not sure what the problem is with your pak choi, GWRS, can you put a picture up? I havnt grown any this year.
Went to the plot today. Weeded the potato patch, me thinks they have the onset of blight. Planted up some calabrese and more herbs.
Rubarb and strawberries have been plentiful. Fruit bushes are only into their second yr so not much fruit but the one's in the back garden have done well. I'm not expecting anything off the fruit tree's. There was only one flower on the plum and about four on one of the apple tree's. The pear tree's look dead, buy cheap - pay twice .
Picked the first of the beetroot, shallots, pea's, a cue and and one red tomato.
Gluts on lettuce, swede, chard, spinach at present.
I'm trying the '3 sister 's'. I've 2 mini pop beds, so have a squash plant growing into one with dwarf french beans planted within reaching distance into the bed. In the other sweetcorn bed, two courgette plants trained into it. No beans in this one though - this is my version and called the 2 sister's
GWRS, if it's a yellowish staining could be a virus neighbouring plotter has it on her pak choi, foliar fed with diluted seaweed but finally took them out. Seem to be several virus' on here this year.
Is anybody else trying out the new Crimson Crush blight-free tomato developed specifically for allotments?
i was given two by Dobie's and I have been asked to report back with results. So far, they look great, with large fruits developing. Over recent years, outdoor tomatoes on our allotment in Marlow have been decimated by blight, and according to Dobie's, the majority of allotments in the Country are suffering badly from blight.
I will be pleased if they work as promised - at the moment all my tomatoes have to be grown in the greenhouse which in my case limits the amount I can grow.
Hello this is picture of Pak choi and the chard looks similar , yellow mottled and lots of little holes and body any idea of problem ? Took picture yesterday
have grubbed them all up and put in garden waste bin
been to g/c to day and bought some more seeds will sow those next month in a different bed
you win some , you lose some
would recommend entering local shows , talked my niegbour into taking part and he got first prize for his potatoes and lettuce , he is delighted

If you post a pic GWRS, maybe able to help.

No allottment or gardening today , it is raining and yesterday I filled up the water butts from the beck , bit annoying really
on a positive note the garden / allottment needed the rain
pruned plum tree last week and found 3 plums , bet the birds get them before us , such is life
