The plot when I took it over in January
It now looks like this:
How it looks now
And here’s a quick overview of how it got there…

Is there anything more fun to watch than a garden growing in? Well, maybe picking the fruits of your labor, maybe

Flighty – thanks, this is probably it at its peak because the beans are almost over and we’re working our way through the potatoes
Nikki – oh, the picking’s the fun part. I never seem to have time just to look at it, there’s always a weed that suddenly appears…

Have watched with great interest how your vegetables have grown as I have an allotment not too far away, as I only get there weekly I cannot manage salad stuff ( we have rabbit sized slugs ) but usually manage broad beans for the following year . This year my runner beans got to 6” then have been eaten, broad beans still in miniature, pea pods empty and not one sunflower has emerged from whole two rows prepared and sown. And all my roses are rotten from rain.
Once again next year plans keep me going, may just dig it all over and start again!

Oh dear, that sounds grim. Although you’re lucky just to have an allotment, they appear to be like hen’s teeth round here

‘…round here’ as in all of the UK! xx

You have the touch, evidently.
And what exciting dinners-to-come are we looking at?

you didn’t see all the stuff that died.
Okay, so bottom right is peas and broad beans, bottom left is baby spinach (replacing the parsnips that never came up) and a few other leftover things I couldn’t fit in elsewhere. Middle bed is potatoes, top left is lettuce, tomatoes and Larry the sole surviving Leek and top right is purple-sprouting broccoli.
