All three of us went down to the allotment this morning, and we all cleared a big area of weeds (Daddy mostly, but Henry and Mummy did help !). Graham arrived (with Rupert the dog) and chatted to us for a while then took us to his plot to give us some tomatoes, a couple of peppers, some Little Gem lettuce plants and then Monty (from the next door plot to Graham) called us over to ask if we wanted a cabbage. We said that would be lovely, so we thanked Graham and walked round to Monty's plot. He gave Henry and I some peas to eat (Hurst something, they seemed to be sweeter than ours so I will look out for those next year). Then he cut us the MOST ENORMOUS cabbage (see photo - although the photo has about 10 leaves already removed !). After a little chat with Monty we went back to our plot laden down with goods !
Daddy and Henry carried on clearing the weeds on the new plot and Mummy started to take down the pea plants as they had started to go a bit funny (and had fallen over and covered the radish), so we collected all the pea pods, cleared the ground and then planted Graham's Little Gem lettuce in the soil inbetween the Dwarf Green Beans and the Runner Beans. We had some more plants too so we planted a row in the Potato bed where the first row of potatoes had been. Henry watered them in and we are looking forward to seeing how they get on
