And this week we've had torrential rain and serious flooding again in Sheffield. Not quite as bad as 2007 but quite bad enough. Made watering the allotment a bit superfluous for a few days!
Anyway, how goes it with the plot?
Beans in (Runner & Climbing French). Kale and Sprouts in, Cucumber and knobby Italian Courgette in. Netting up for Morning Glory to scramble up (first time I've grown them). Bit of a show, what?
Blackberries look good.
Potatoes look good, 
especially as I'm not growing any this year; these are all volunteers from where I didn't clear it out properly last year. Better a volunteer than a pressed man.And finally, just to demonstrate that an allotment can be a thing of beauty as well as a list of vegetables (altho some of them are things of beauty too (look at this cabbage)
here's a rose.
Sithee, as we say in Yorkshire.

Humf! I know all about the grotty weather - it took Himself over 2 hours to get home from Rotherham the other day because so many bits of Sheffield were flooded!
I haven't needed to do much watering either - mind you, quite a few of my crops have either drowned by the rain or been frazzled by the heat so I'm feeling a tad discontent with yon weather at the moment!
