Plot 36

Another busy weekend at the allotment. With the dry weather and the post-holiday catchup we’ve been visiting frequently to salvage the rest of the crops.

Whilst I was lugging water (1400ltrs) around the knot expert fashioned an allotment appropriate brassica cage. What remains of the brassicas, mainly a few sorry looking stems about 10cm high are now protected from butterflies and pigeons.

Aside from the watering I planted some more flat-leafed parsley to replace the plant that has now gone to seed and harvested some salad leaves, herbs and a few raspberries.
