Allotment 2022 onwards

By misetak

A mixed day

Starting bottom right and going anticlockwise: 
1 - an experiment with green tomato chutney in the slow cooker.  Not a success - the veg didn't break down to thicken the chutney, but rescued by finishing in a saucepan on the hob in the evening.  
2 - the baby foxgloves were potted up within 15 minutes of arrival in the post, an all time record (I will confess to times of more than a month before now) and then taken to spend the winter in a cold frame on the allotment.
3 -  nasturtiums growing really well on the communal compost heap and not a single black fly in sight.  How???
4 - yes, we have had yet more rain and my current two water butts are overflowing.  I must remember to take some tape to attempt to waterproof the crack in the third one and get it into the chain.
