I am loving the visits to the allotment even more now – instead of just watering and weeding – we are now going home with the rewards.
Bought back home the following yesterday…
1 Courgette.
3 runner beans.
Bunch of Kale.
2 Pots of cherries.
1 Bag of Mizuna
soon we will also be picking the Rocket/Orach/Perpetual Spinach and many many more beans of a all types.

Made a basic framework for a small fruit cage today – although when we then went out to get some Raspberries, Gooseberries and Red Currants all of the plants are taller than the fruit cage – so I’ll be spending a bit of time adding higher sections to this – to then be covered in netting.
The shed is currently full of the plants – but they will hopefully go in tomorrow.
