Allotments 4 All

---

My two caged cherries, sunburst and summer sun, are doing well, 3.5 kg picked yesterday, and probably the same again to come, unless they split (we are promised thunderstorms today). Lost quite a lot to rot, with it being so wet, but suspect a pest is puncturing the skins, tiny holes, and presumably later some sort of maggot... anybody else got the same problem?

I would like to ask if anyone can identify a rogue plant that has appeared in my garden but have no idea how to upload the photos I've taken. Could someone walk me through the process please?
Thanks

Well went today to the lotty and found nearly all of the squash and pumpkin plants I planted 9 days ago had died  No evidence of slug damage  All the leaves were dried up and dead . Certainly not lack of water! I know they don't like transplanting so I've always grown them in roottrainers but it's often a bit hit and miss.
Has anyone any experience of sowing them direct into a bed? The textbooks say its the best way to grow them. If so how do you do it?
