13 Aug - Onion Picking & The Drought Continues

The hot dry weather has continued and this has had differing effects on the allotment crops, some are doing well while others have given up the ghost. Let's start with one negative, the onions which I've taken up today as there were no green leaves on them - they had basically gone. What a pathetic crop too, no weight on the onions at all. I have a few left over from last year which are four times the size. Oh well.


On the positive side, the butternut are thriving and I'm in for a bumper crop if all goes well and, a pumpkin has finally developed! Actually. two formed but one survived which was probably for the best. Fingers crossed there will be a pumpkin for Halloween!


That's it for now. Bye.
