The swiss chard has been a prolific cropper!

Carrots doing well.

Cant wait for the tomatoes to ripen.

I love marigolds – they remind me of my childhood.

A new strawberry bed that has done really well.

Leeks are coming along nicely.

Apples. When we took over this plot this tree only cropped 5 apples in that first year.

Our sunflowers didnt do too well – this was the best one.

The children love the allotment and thats the most important thing for me.

The kids decorated the shed using sample points of paint left over from when we renovated our house.

Another pumpkin variety. This is the first time we have had more than one pumpkin grow to these sizes.

Another massive pumpkin growing. Looking forward to harveting!

I grew globe artichokes from seed and now they are keeping bees very happy.

Globe artichokes are so beautiful!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week!

Peace and love,
