I'm sure there are other factors involved here.

Beryl.

You're right: if you don't sow/plant them, the veg definitely don't grow - that is the other factor! The only things I put in were potatoes, which are doing ok, and peas, which either rotted in the rain or were eaten by the rabbits. The right conditions for the planting just haven't coincided with the limited time that I've had free this year.

Still, the soft fruit is looking ok still, so if we get another spell of sunny weather, all is not yet lost.

If it makes you feel a little better, i found three weeds on one of my allotments this afternoon, but don't tell anyone.

Dear OH - you can always make me smile.

Just 2 of my plots taken today.
Last cutting made of the asparagus from the bed in the foreground.

Beryl.

Most impressed - how many more plots are there?

Beryl - lovely plots - a bit jealous here!

Difficult to get it all in Geoff but I have 25 rods in all. This is about 20 rods but doesn't quite show it all and I have attached one of the smaller plot of 5 rods.

Beryl.

PS there are fruit trees on 3 sides of this plot. Plums, apples and cherries not shown and a small shed.

Beryl.,

Dear Beryl, we all know how much hard work it is to keep things looking good, so they are a real credit to you.

Thank you OH. and to Westie.
Beryl.
