So, after so much dry weather turning my soil to something like a desert, weve now had about 10 days of heavy rain. Great !
However, this has made the weeks grow like mad, so they needed attacking.
The Veg has grown some too, but not as much as it should have, and several other growers have said the same thing.
Having said that, my Pumpkins have shot out in all directions, attacking my bean wigwam, rooting into my pea lines, and skipping over the path to attack the plot next door lol.
Some hacking back was required, but I was chuffed to find 4 or 5 very large pumpkins that have grown in very short order due to the sun and rain we've had.
Whilst weeding, I had a test dig and pulled up a couple spud plants, to happily find some great potatoes, along with the largest of the Beets that have grown, and a couple shallot clumps. Very happy to get this little lot home, the first of many I hope !
