Having had a let up in the rain today I rushed up the allotment to plant some things:

• Butternut Squash
• Cucumbers
• French Beans
• Runner Beans
• Leeks
• Spring Onions
• Celeriac

All these have been ready for a few days awaiting a break in the rain. BOY has it been raining.  Since I was last up there we’ve also grown a lot of weeds so next task is weeding.

Parsnip seeds have not come up will probably have to re-seed and only one chilli, pepper and aubergine have come up – not a good year this year for seedling success.

New for us this year is Celeriac – be interesting to see what happens.
