went to the allotment
coupla days ago ian obliterated our weeds using the megastrimmer. So it looks beautiful atm.
Today we went - picked 3-4 courgettes, 7 cucumbers, more runners kale french beans a bit of broccoli. Remaining squash looking ok but not ripe - butternut gets bigger and bigger but is resolutely green, guatemalan banana is interesting stripeyness but not the least bit blue, crown prince (actually invincibles) still green, but all ok sizes.
Xmas potatoes looking ok, second sowing of beans flowering, but it's obviously a race against time before they get frostified. Leeks puny still.
