I spent a bit of time at the W allotment whilst Alison visited Joy and was surprised by how many runner beans, carrots and beetroot were still good for picking. The carrots were a lovely size and I was also able to pick spinach, lettuce, basil and Coriander from the cold frame.
It was also an opportunity to clear away more of the debris from removing the redcurrant bush and to weed a little more. Next week should be ideal for planting the broad beans for early cropping next year, and the garlic for June harvest. We are still working our way through this year's garlic, smoething it is easy to take for granted. Plenty of flavour in the cloves and will last us into next year.
Alison was in the garden this afternoon, deadheading and tidying up, and I gave the car a wash and polish, hoover and tyre pressure check. It's like being retired!
Juno and I walked 4.65 miles this morning and are aiming to beat last week's total distance walked of 38 miles. We'll have 16 miles to do in 3 days, so it is on. Fingers crossed with the weather.
