The potatoes that were not meant to be!

I did a couple of hours of weeding and tidying on the plot today.  The onions are looking great so I pulled about 10 of them just in case anything bad happens to the rest while we're on holiday.

The new raspberry bed seems to have courgette plants, tomato plants and loads of potato plants growing.  I dug them all up and got quite a lot of potatoes.  The tomato plants I have taken home and put in pots and the courgette plants were discarded as I have others growing in another part of the allotment.

I also planted some more lettuce seeds as the ones I planted earlier in the year have now mostly been consumed (by us) or have started going over.  I must try to plant some beans before the hols too.

Swaps!

My lettuces are being quite prolific so I swapped a couple today with David on the plot opposite for some lovely-looking redcurrants.

More weeding and watering today too.  It's been an incredibly dry and warm June
