The Allotment Update Thread

Hello , new to this site and forum a GW exile
Just trying to post and look at different sites
Had an allotment since for at least 10 years but still learning

 

Hello all , had a good day at allotment today , it was also our AGM , good job it wasn’t raining as we hold it in the Car Park
I weeded the summer raspberries and gave it some blood fish and bone

Got a bed ready for 1st early potatoes

O/H picked some broccoli & kale for dinner tonight and did some weeding
We take the weeds home and put them in the garden bin

As ever a few other jobs done

 

Hello all
Had a garden club show for spring managed to get first for a few things entered and a second as well
Nice to come over here and join you lot bit wet at Plot keeps being windy not great weather

 

Hi , I am sure it's my ineptitude, but I can't find this thread, I'm sure it's been updated since this one in April.

 

Ok obviously everyone is too busy catching up on the ground to update here. Now we've had a few dry days making progress at last. Got my maincrop spuds in on Friday, Cara and Sarpo Mira. Also put out more lettuce, runner beans and first lot of climbing french beans. Still not put the cage up for the brassicas hopefully this week then I can get them out too.

 

Finally got te cage up and netted, so the Brassicas are all in
I have interplanted with some more lettuce and Pack Choi, the theory being these should all be harvested and cleared away before the sprouts etc require the space. Also planted the courgettes. Now we have rain again, still lots to put in , slowly getting there.

 

Maybe, @Allotment Boy, no one here has an allotment or maybe they post on the other vegetable threads.

I have a vegetable garden. The potatoes need earthing up but it's too wet. Broad beans are in flower. Sugar snap peas are climbing, some got eaten by slugs. I'm surprised I still have lettuces, only a little slug damage. The red onion sets are growing, so are the brassicas, (cabbages, broccoli and curly kale) and chard. I have just potted on bought plants, tomatoes, courgettes, cucumbers and peppers, too wet to plant out.

 

I've now seen you on the edibles thread!

 

I think you are right @Busy-Lizzie most people seem to post on the edibles thread so I guess they don't post here. I will update o there.

 

A few pics taken today, the plot is now fully planted.

 

Produce is starting to come now the sun has arrived

 

Well done @Scroggin
You are ahead of me; just a bit!
Beet too small yet, black currants only just colouring; but have pickings of russian kale, broad beans, broccoli and all the others.
