Thursday 24th June 2010

Henry and I popped down to the allotment after school today - his redcurrants are bright red, juicy and looking ready for picking - we'll do that this weekend I think. The gooseberries are also ready for picking as well.

We sorted out the raspberries (allowing 3-5 main shoots per plant and cut the rest out) after Grandad advised us on Tuesday. They look so much tidier and there are some small raspberries forming already which is lovely to see as I thought I had messed them up this year !

We gave everything a really good water as it has been so hot lately and then we tied up the borlotti beans. The onions are starting to fall over so maybe they are not far off being harvested - we noticed Max's dad had harvested some of his.

We picked a lettuce for Tina, did a touch of weeding and then came home.
