with my allotment this year? I chose a bad year to start.
It is throwing down with rain as we speak, Again.
Might get a few courgettes as they love big rain. But some of them are like
conjoined twins.

This has been a wonderful year for soft fruit. My strawberries have
cropped wonderfully well, and provided many pickings of fruit. My
loganberries and black currants have also done very well. I am now
waiting on the autumn fruiting raspberries, and they look very good at
the present.

My vegetables have done less well, and yet the potatoes are not bad,
browad beans so so, summer cabbage OK and salad crops very poor.

So all in all, not too bad, and the allotment is worth the rent, for
this year anyway.

I'm in Cornwall, so we've had our share of wet weather this year.
