Spuds 'n' critters

Went to do some harvesting today, working onto the main crop spuds now. Thought though it is worth showing the view from the allotment:

This is what you see when you stand on the corner of the site. Nice on a day like today! Ridgeway in the background there. So we harvested some spuds - pink fir apple (weird ugly ones, middle) and sarpo mira (left), along with the inevitable onions, courgette or two, and a lettuce:

 and also some soft fruit:

While up at the plot we planted some lambs lettuce seedlings, which were planted on June 10th (they grow very slowly indeed):

Unfortunately they appear to have experienced some stress as they are a bit mildewy but will see whether they recover:

While up there we also saw a couple of little critters - most interesting is this red grasshopper though Emily's favourite insect (ladybird) and a green grasshopper (at home) and more annoyingly cabbage white caterpillars were also in evidence:

Ugliest potato of the day - yes this is a pink fir apple:
