Spud the difference

Had a longish visit to the allotment yesterday to get some more peas planted out, do some harvesting and get some salad planted. Harvested the remains of the Lady Christl potatoes and some Estima - would take a trained eye to spot the difference:
(Estima are on the right) - new structures installed for peas, cucamelons and salad:
Peas are the row of stakes at the back here, obelisk for the cucamelons and blue pipe arches to net salad to keep the pigeons away. In other news courgettes starting to take over the world:
Butternut squash doing OK:
(covering the ground with black plastic proves to be a winner) and sweetcorn starting to flower:
Harvest photo of the day:
On balance think Estima have given the best potato harvest so far. We also traded some green courgettes with our neighbours for the yellow one seen here. This is the end of this round of peas, probably have a few weeks to wait until we get the next harvest...
