Me and the boss went for an hour or two in the glorious sunshine (rained first thing but better in the afternoon). Pulled loads of spuds out. Some rotten which apparently I was supposed to find out why - I just though it was due to the masses of rain we've had. Anyway, am not bothered have plenty left to come out yet. Found out one of our neighbouring allotment holders, Jane, at the top is also a neighbour in Clifton, which was nice!

Got there at 8.15am, wasn't first on site either. Another beautiful day stopped until about 4pm. Again harvesting spuds onplot 7, god knows when I'll have time to pick em up. Also pulled all the garlic up and put boards un butternut squashes that the missus found and checked enormous pumpkins still doing okay.Monday 7th September 2015
Lucy training at 6pm so didn't get down to Lotty until 8pm and it was going dark. So picked up all the spuds, put em on trays and into the shed to dry for a day or too.

Friday September 11th to Sunday September 13th September 2015
Friday went to lotty about 7:15am moved some beetroot, put in a row of broccoli near the Brussels. Went to that Wales.
After driving back from that Wales I got the other brassicas in - two more rows of cabbages (these wnet into number 7 though rather than 13 like the other beggars. I think these were called Winter Tundra and January King. Helped bosskat get about a ton of runner beans give or take. Pumpkins are coming on something grand as well - got some humongous ones. Should also mention the butternut squashes that are coming on a treat too!
Sunday 20th September 2015
Did a couple of hours in the morning. Cycled down, clear the pea row on plot 13. Took a barrow full of rubbish down to the tip (apparently you're not supposed to do that but as no-one has taken me to task about it yet I think its tolerated). Came back in the afternoon and mowed round the plots, got a load of beans and cabbages and stuff - all good stuff.
