Vinny's Allotment Plot

More strawberries gathered today and a tray full of redcurrants before the birds get them.  Probably make some redcurrant jelly and no idea what to do with the strawberries. There's only so much strawberry jam you can eat.

I cut some lengths of string and tied up the tomatoes in greenhouse, armpitting them as I went. I also tied some of my Gigantes beans to the canes to get them started. Some of them had started to climb the wrong cane so I disentangled those and set them on the right path. I am pleased with the way they are growing considering it's only the start of July.
Some of the Japanese onion tops are dropping down but instead of tidying them up all facing the same direction(as I usually do) I am just allowing them to do there own thing.

Did quite a bit of backbreaking hand weeding with trowel.

I still haven't sown my Bright lights Chard yet but watched a youtube video where they were sown in modules. You can then pick out the interesting coloured ones to grow on. I have some modules at home so I will sow them there, where I can put them on the patio bench and keep an eye on them, making sure they are watered at all times.
