A few warm and sunny days



Wow! We've actually had a few warm and sunny days! 

This has meant that the straightneck and yellow (unknown!) squashes have come back to life a bit, and I finally got a few (very hot! peppers).

Even more amazing, sun meant that I actually got my wife down to the allotment to help me! You can just about see her behinds the beans. Talking of which, we managed to pick quite a few more today.

Also, I thinned out the few carrots I planted (they are looking good, but why did I plant so few?) and also re-planted some little gem lettuces to give them a bit more room (top piccy).

Finally, I moved our globe artichokes, as the were too close to the boundary with next door. We'd agreed to put a path between our plots to reduce weed-spill. They went pretty limp straight away -  I fear I may have killed them..
