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.

Oh Tina, I am so sorry. I have no words to help because I am a complete
novice but I do feel for you

Thanks, O. A little bit of sympathy helps when I am feeling so
discouraged. Onwards and upwards again now.
We were going to do such wonderful things, feed a family of six but hey, I
gave my sister in law the radishes, and the first carrot yesterday (not
quite ready I plucked one to see) but she sowed them and she is more of a
newbie than you but I kept my peas for myself.
I absolutely *love* peas. My mother said it was because she had a craving
for them when she was expecting me. Interesting theory. Glad it wasn't
kippers and custard (colleague had this craving whilst pregnant) !!

lol well you have had encouragement from posters here and I am sure they are
right

I look forward to reading in the future about sumptuous crops when you can
feed more than that family of six)
