Well, the weather hasn't been great in the last couple of weeks. We were pleased to find the tomatoes are now ripening but disappointed that the ones Uncle Carl brought back from Italy have no taste really so we have used them to make tomato soup this weekend. The crystal lemon cucumber plant has been in overdrive and we have lots of cucumbers which we have been handing round to people !!!
Henry and I planted a row of Pak Choi outside where the Corona Del Oro yellow beans were and also a tray in the greenhouse. We planted a couple of trays of lettuce as well but as of now it appears the slugs have found them as nothing is through !!! May try that again this week. The melons seem to be doing well, and we have alot of chillies turning red so that's good, as we seem to be inundated with purple chillies !
We picked a few carrots (Resistafly) and half of these were OK, which is good, but there were not many of them and Henry had them for his tea ! We tried to see if a corn on the cob was ready as the tassles had turned brown but it wasn't ready for eating yet - the corns were still white.
We are hoping the allotment shop is open this weekend as looking at the diary from last year - it was about now we bought the garlic, over-wintering onions and so we want to buy those and would like to try some over-wintering Spring Onions this year too. Looking forward to finding out what they have for sale !
