Update on the Allotment for June (week 28) : Broad Beans, Bunyards Exhibition

The Broad Beans, Bunyards Exhibition, didn't do all that great this year either, with less than 50% germination, it's been a strange growing year so far. With that said we where able to harvest 724g of pos today, with still a few more to come on the plants we still have. At least they covered the cost of the seed. (£1.80 for a pack of 50 seeds)

Again the Poly-tunnel is like a forest, but everything seems to be growing well. Tomatoes have reached the top, and the Marrow is now a massive plant.

 We have tomatoes starting to form on the vines and lots of flowers.

Picked some more soft fruit, all the black currants are now in with just over 2kg of fruit. The Jostaberry seemed a little down on other years, with some of the fruit dropping due to the heat we guess, and maybe some gone with the birds, but we still got 2.3kg of fruit from these.

Around the allotment, things are starting to catch up a little, with the Kale and Cabbages growing nicely. The courgettes are getting bigger, as are the Uchiki Kuri Squash. The Oca Tubers (Oxalis tuberosa) have really started to fill the bed now.
