The tame photographer has just sent me the latest pics from the allotment, so here they are, without a lot of text, as I posted the main blog yesterday.
A birthday view, with the plot looking pretty good for this time of year.
As you can see, the weather has been changeable recently, to say the least.
Runner bean seeds for next year.
Supper - and they taste as good as they look.
Our first leek.
Late Tom Thumb lettuces, which are doing well under fleece. It's quite exciting having home grown lettuce at this time of year.
The winter onions, planted in ridges to keep them dry and warm, and under netting to protect them from birds. If they don't produce a decent crop it won't be for lack of effort!
The french window cloche - not quite finished yet.
And, finally, my most used tool - often lost and rediscovered some weeks later in the compost!

How'd the second strawberry harvest fo?
Not good I'm afraid - the slugs had a generous helping and there wasn't really enough sunshine for them to ripen properly. Never mind - we'll have plenty next year, with any luck.
