  • WSB a result of too close planting, when I dug out wsb I discovered some small ones that had been hidden under the big ones and hadn't sprouted yet. Even though I dug and prepared beds for climbing beans, corn and gourds I left the stunted ones,they have become massive and productive- good for the table but beans don't like it much!
    Today I picked spring greens and 3 varieties of asian greens- ivory pak choi and two I didn't label.
    No matter:the allotment is lovely, the tadpoles have legs, my sea kale has germinated and I am glad to be home.

              • Garlic and I'm really pleased with it this year, apart from the very thick stems.

                • My very 1st courgette, sugar snap peas that got nowhere near the kitchen but were just scoffed whilst picking, strawbs and I spotted that for the first time ever I have beetroot, they are only tiny bulbs but at least they are not all leaf.

                  • Harvested the first of my strawberries this morning, although predictably none of them made it back home from the allotment. Also, pulled up the first of my Casablanca first early potatoes which I'll be enjoying for tonights tea!

                            • New potatoes, and a big bundle of PSB which looked like it might bolt in a few days. Also some flowers - have since realised my mistake in cutting the orange escholzia, as it's all wilted.

                              • Nice harvest!

                                I've got the hang of cutting eschscholzia now. I put half an inch of boiling water in my spare mug and carry it down to the flower plot. Cut the flowers and put the cut end in the boiling water for a minute or two. Then put them in cold water with all the other flowers.
