Allotment update

Very dry, a bit too weedy for me (note to self - weed on Monday) but here's the state of play.

The fruit trees are doing very well (so far and fingers crossed)

 Beth can't remember what type this is.  Anyone recognise it?

 The redlove is such a pretty tree.  The inside of the apple is pink, not white, and this year it is laden.

 So many pears too.  We've learned our lesson with these pears.  They don't keep!  That means daily pears through the autumn months.  Oh, the hardship!

Hardly any plums this year but those that we have are starting to colour.  Exciting.

The baby corn is doing so very well even if something knocked three of them over last night at some point.  They're standing again now!

After a late and slow start, the runners are now coiling around the canes.  There will be no stopping them now

The mange tout.  Great growth but we now need flowers (and pods).

I've left the courgettes for Beth as it's her turn but I was sorely tempted.

Oodles of potatoes soon.  Yum.

The tomatoes are coming on.  Not as well as the ones in my garden but then they don't get the same watering.  It's a sunny spot so ripening should be no problem.

Not much fruit this year but they've mainly grown well and there's plenty of runners to fill the gaps.

Better than nowt!  And a bonus from these autumn fruiting canes.

And last of all (no cheering at the back, there!), a general view.  The gap at the front is where the asparagus should be!  Ho hum, better luck next time.
