(Almost) independence day

A busy june, travelling to Slovenia and Zagreb, and then Belfast meant that any space time was spent on the allotment rather than writing about it! Here's a selection of pics from sunday 3 july...



Flattened the onion tops to promote final juicing up for a fortnight
Hauled out the first earlies - Pentland Javelins, who have a great waxy firm flesh, which held together when cooked on the fire in Canna
Harvested first batch of lettuces
Planted out cauliflowers and leeks in spaces left by 1st earlies
Planted out celeriac and pumpkin in cold frame, now with its top off
Potted on nero kale for second time
