Post Holiday Overgrowth

Not just me thats overgrown on holiday, but the allotment is bursting with plant life. All the wildflowers and sweetpeas in the borders fill the pen with colour and fragrance. Whilst away the weather has be quite dull and wet which i suppose is a blessing because it looked like it was going to be anoher hot month after June. It is quite cold and wet at the moment and with so much to do it is a little frustrating. As you can see from these pictures there is plenty to do and pick.

Quite a few of the courgettes have grown too large and are alomost marrow size. I have taken these off to encourage more courgettes to form. The 'bianca de triese' are long and curled but they taste very sweet. The sweetcorn contiue to grow with plenty of cobs forming and the runnerbeans are flowering well and some beans are forming. Hopefully the weather will pick up then i can get things straight
