Follow the allotment series here.

Just a quick post today. All the photos below were taken on the evening of Tuesday 24th May.

Parsnips

Parsnips, three sowings with each separated by a few weeks (5th March, 20th March and the most recent mid-April).

Potatoes

Potatoes, really impressed with how vigorous they are. They were planted on 20th March so this is almost 9 weeks growth. Only a few more weeks until the first earlies should be ready!

Beetroot

Beetroot, planted 20th March - not as impressive as the potatoes!

Strawberries and squash

18 Strawberries (9 Elan and 9 Roman) and 9 squash plants.
