Mid-Summer night's Nightmare ... After being off for a week I returned to our allotments & found this: The potatoes behind the shed that I earthed up the last day I was at the allotment were full of weeds & horseradish! A week ago the beetroots could hardly be seen for their small size, now they have grown a lot but so have the weeds! The poor lettuces are just about holding their own but only because they were already quite big.
The onions are rapidly becoming overloaded with the bindweed that is trying to grow up them! These potatoes of Gerry's are less affected by the weeds than the plot behind the shed. Strawberries? The Lentils have germinated during my week's absence. The Raspberries have grown from knee high last Monday to hip high in just one week! While I was off sick Gerry planted some onions that he had been growing at home. He had also put in more Sweetcorn & now the little patch has got a little longer. Our tomatoes are coming along very nicely indeed! Your fruit, herb and vegetable garden.
