Sweetcorn and Rain

August has continued to disappoint with the weather being cool and very wet. Most plants are doing well. Still picking beans, salad, potaotoes, courgettes, beetroot, carrots and as you can see below sweetcorn. These have grown really well with 2/3 cobs per plant and delicious to eat, all from a packed that cost 19p.

As September begins there are signs of improvement in the weather with some bright sunny spells forecast. This give a chance to tidy round the allotment and move some plants around. Some of the larger plants in the nursery bed can be moved into the boarders, it may be a little early but i want to get organised for next year.

I have some onions and garlic to plant now to be ready for next summer when the supplies of onions have run out from this year
