promising crops

Several people are having a bad year for runner beans and some with sweetcorn I have done nothing special but at the moment both of these crops with me promise to be good. I sowed the runner beans at intervals so that hopefully I will pick well into October ,weather permitting. These pictures weretaken on Tuesday 21st August

I had a load of manure delivered but it was some way from my plot so it meant a lot of wheelbarrow work.I have lifted most of the old wood surrounds so now need a good bonefire.Managed to get enough claer to plant a row of raspberries.

Just to update on the progress with my new plot. It is taking time as there is such a lot of couch etc. to get out but I have now planted a row of raspberries. Another plot owner helped me by taking away all the old carpet etc. that was between the wood surrounds left by the previous owner. Wednesday 14th March I spend about a couple of hours most days digging and cleaning , I have planted some black berries and strawberries. I am told the badgers like fruit so will put some wire netting round that area. I have about half of my new plot dug now.

Progress on my allotment. Most things are growing quite well , I have planted some raspberries,strawberries and blackberries, these should all crop well next year although we are getting a few strawberries now. the potatoes, parsnips,swedes ,onions,beetroot and various brassicas  are looking good. I am getting quite a lot of weeds coming back but hope to keep on top of them.

Sweetcorn is looking good along with the parsnips. I have had to put netting round as I am told the badgers love both.
We are now picking runner beans (3rd Aug) I have planted at intervals to get a long period of crop.
The tomato plants are grafted as they are supposed to be resistant to blight.It looks as if there will be a very large crop.
