First significant crop this year.

Had our first significant harvest yesterday - perputal spinach, chard, a handful of Charlottle potatoes, some small courgettes, some over-wintered red onions and a couple of garlic.

Also pulled up the bolted pak choi - the leaves taste fine, but obviously no heart, which is the nicest bit.

I spent a couple of hours weeding last night, had the allotment to myself, and stayed there until 10pm - my favourite time.

The beans are starting to grow at last, we'll get a few peas (but it's never really worth it). The kale from the Real Seed Company is looking great.

I also planted out some more Choi - a different variety. I planted this out younger than the last lot, so maybe that will stop them from bolting.
