Successions of lettuce ready too.

I wonder whether they're just slow....or gone completely dead? I've been watering since it's so dry! I'll have to take one up later to see, I think. PSB and Calabrese both doing well. And my netting cage is doing a great job of keeping the pigepn out. Courgettes are nicely sprouting true leaves...albeit I planted them a bit later than intended. But I do have cucumbers on the cucumber plants! Trusses of flowers on the tomato plants, too.

Red Squirrel Jun 2023 9:24pm, 5 Jun 2023 22,947 posts	0 Red Squirrel I’ve taken over an allotment, so seeing how the first year goes with the previous owner’s established stuff. It’s slow progress clearing as it’s so overgrown, so just firefighting at the moment and trying to help established things breathe. Harvesting globe artichokes at the moment - delicious! Got various currants coming on. Fruit starting to form - apples, pears, figs, cherries. There are also 4 grapevines and I’m going to train one over the shed I put up. It’s bramble and bindweed-tastic on site, so keeping everything back until I can dig out brambles in the winter and get a proper handle on the bindweed. Then there’s the many, many couch grass tussocks. Sigh.
Red Squirrel Jun 2023 9:25pm, 5 Jun 2023 22,948 posts	0 Red Squirrel I’ve also planted some strawbs, oregano, raspberries donated by allotment neighbour, methi, coriander, chives and fennel. Hoping to get round to beans (runner or French) as I love them.
