Oh, and melons too........I didn't manage to grow any to a decent fruiting size!!! :'(
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

broad beans (over wintering)
mange tout - never manage to grow successionally, one glut and it is all over
carrots - rubbish germination and major slug damage has not left us with much
parsnips - only one germinated out of an entire row, saving it for Christmas!

This is my first year having an allotment! Most of what I grew was sowed without even thinking of quanities. Everything has grown I just dont have enough. So next year!.....more of everything!! Less Runner Beans and more French climbling beans. Lots of onions! Parsnips I will try start off at home first. I was so pleased with my sweet corn that I will grow lots more next year.

Hi Si D... if those hair seeds come up can I have some? But not if it involves manuring my head!
We can wish & we can wish
But we can never have
What once seemed ours forever
