Hey all the judge was at the allotment yesterday - weather was spitting a bit we sat in car, so judge wandered around plot with others then went off to other plots - wont know what place we are out of the 23 people that entered their plots untill they open the envelope at show 5th Aug
Friday finished strimming plot and hoed a bit and Sat just made sure some plants were stood up

Still more digging to go - going to get back to finishing path off plot now judge has been
Had some runners and a beetroot yesterday for dinner from another plot near by tasted nice

Have harvested lots of blackberrys and a big patty pan squash trying to figure out what to do with it maybe for tomorrow nights tea
Hello all , had a good day at plot , lots of little jobs done , was a bit windy at times
Managed to burn all the pruning and other rubbish , got home about 5-30 and it started raining at 6-00

Out door cucumbers gone into over drive , picked 6 big ones and more coming !
Going to Tenby next Tuesday for a week , no doubt the weeds are waiting to spring up while we are away
O/H made a courgette cake today , have to say it was rather good , considering never made one before
