Weeding, watering and harvesting

Last week on the allotment was in general terms, a repeat of the previous week. The beds are beginning to empty; no sooner have the beds filled up than we start emptying them again. It's also amazing how quickly our sodden soil dries out after a few sunny, warm and dry days. It means that we have to spend time watering. At least we are getting something back from our exorbitant water charge.

When weeding we have to make sure that we don't overlook beds hidden under covers.

Onions are still growing despite some of the tops being blown over in recent gales.

    We had a terrible hailstorm last week. My husband was sure the corn was done for as the wind blew it over, but today it as right as rain. Mother Nature knows what she is doing. Just wish she would let us in on the plan.
