I started sowing late this year, mostly due to a really cold Spring but also because I have a dodgy knee and it has been painful.
However i am determined to keep the allotment going and I am now frantically catching up as i don't know when I will have my operation (knee replacement)
I did manage to get help from my Son and a friend on a few occasions so every-thing got weeded - well that is an on going battle! This last month I have started everything off in the greenhouse and sowed five varieties of tomato, rinner beans, summer and winter squash, pumpkin, cabbage, cauliflower, Kale and lots more. Everything is now emerging it is very exciting when you see the little seedlings start pushing up through the compost.
Outside I now have all the potatoes in and have planted out beans squash and pumkins. It takes a lot of watering but so far have been able to use water from the three water butts i have.
Today it was raining so just went to water the seedlings -quite a lot ready to plant out or to pot on; so fingers crossed I will have a good harvest despite my late start.
