WOW Gunners... sounds like you've been VERY busy - lottie sounds very productive too.... Nice one mate.

Good to hear from you again mate, I was beginning to wonder if you'd locked yourself in the shed on the allotment, whether we should send someone to look under the door for you!

sounds like you've been very busy up there

kind thoughts

so you are still alive

good to hear it is going well mate, good to hear about the beans - ours are just starting to form, we have had real trouble with aphids butht ladybird larva have sown up in full force and seem to be getting it sorted.

I can see you getting sick of courgettes with that amount. - We have 3 plants at the moment and some more planted from seed recently comming up.

we had our first full meal on ours today. baby beetroots fired in butter, new potatoes ( from the 2nd earlies) with some steamed beet spinach and a leaf salad. - well nice.

We have dined on your chard and the turnips are looking good!
