Plot Update - picture heavy for later reference

Into peak allotment season now, started to get a lot of salad coming through, so lettuce is a common accompaniment to meals at the moment 🙂- also peak weed growing season too, so went to do some ho-ho-ho-ing this afternoon. Before that took some pictures of the plot in general:

Strawberries, in new cage:


Beans #1 - Orient Wonder (we think) from Florida:


Beans #2 - Black Turtle (also from Florida) but looking unhappy:


Beans #3 - Purple Queen:


Courgettes, Pumpkin:


Shallots - had to weed around these - not sure where weeds from 🤔:


More lettuce, under mesh to keep pigeons off:


Cabbages in #1 bed - TODO back-fill with some compost:


Raspberries, going great guns, flowers starting to appear:


Likewise, blackcurrants, laden with fruit so branches bending:


Quite dense with fruit, but very much green:


Garlic (not entirely sure what variety) look close to ready:


More salad!


First crop of peas now uncovered as will be flowering soon:


Second crop of peas getting established:


Apples coming on #1 apple tree:


Meanwhile, back at the ranch strawberries now have their ... straw and cucumbers reaching for the skies:


All things being equal doing OK, though the other side of the plot (the new side) is currently home to rather a lot of buttercups so still much to do...
