Vinny's Allotment Plot

About time for another update methinks. I have been visiting the plot quite regular but mainly just to water up and harvest a few bits and pieces.
Today I devoted a bit more time and dug a bed, cardboarded same bed then covered it with hay. I also put wood ash on top of this (purely because I brought a bucket full from home and needed to spread it somewhere!  I also brought some dried garlic and elephant garlic back to plot to plant. Unfortunately I didn't have time for this so will have to plant it another day.

I am a bit dismayed with the dwarf version of the cape gooseberry. It has very small fruit compared to its larger cousin and a different taste methinks? I think I will stick with the larger version next year. 
Glad to see I have a few tomatoes ripening now and they are a  good colour and size mix!

Spring planted onion sets are still growing well, which reminds me I will have to source some Autumn planted onion sets soon.

Went home with some Desiree potatoes, courgettes, a cabbage and a small handful of French beans which I had with my meal.
