Vinny's Allotment Plot

Back at plot today.

Harvested my elephant garlic. Tickled the bed over with a fork then added manure from a heap close by which I wastold was for all plothoders to use if they wanted.
Because I am of the persuasion "Owt for nowt" I thought I would use some to surround my diminutive pumpkin,squash and courgette plants both to keep soil moist, water through muck to feed them and lastly because muck was piled higher than the plants it may stop them from getting battered by the wind? We shall see. I did re-planrt some cucurbits into places they hadn't taken. Gawd knows what I have now as labels have blow away and transplants are mixed up!

I then weeded my swede trial plants. As can be seen by the piccie Marian swedes seem to be the best of the bunch. The pigeons have hammered them as well and I doubt the three little windmills I added to the row will bother them. Once again, we shall see!

Lastly I harvested some broad beans leaving the roots in the soil. I then added some muck to that section as well as I didn't want to harvest all the beans yet.
