HOW many onions???

NB:  This should have been posted in August, but have had a few technical issues (Mainly the one known as 'incompetence').

Well, it finally stopped raining for a few days.  this was followed by the worst cloudburst I have ever experienced, then another one the next day.  After that it was blistering hot, followed by thunder, lightening and now it's spitting with rain again!

All in all, and taking this weird weather into account, things on the allotment aren't too bad, except for the potatoes which are decidedly...um...occupied...or at least they have been.  Not sure what by...slugs?  At any rate a few of them were totally hollow.  Oh well, some of them are ok and they don't taste too bad.  None worth a picture though, so I didn't bother.

Last week I picked a bit of spinach... 

 A few runner beans and French Beans... 

(Yes there really are French Beans there as well...look harder!)

...and some Calibrese.  This was interesting...I've never grown it before, and can only suggest to any other novice that they actually read the label at the start, especially the bit where it tells you to pick it BEFORE it flowers.  Mind you, the're very pretty, delicate yellow flowers...

The best news this week is that I now have a proper lawn outside the shed, and that today it had its first trim (strim).

Here it is before...

... and after its haircut:

A couple of days ago I went up and eased the onions out of the soil and bent the tops over, so that they could start drying out in the sun.Today I went up and collected them up, ready to finish off drying out in the shed

 I managed to collect two good baskets of white onions... 

...and one of red...

I then set too putting them to dry in the shed.  This involved taking most of the things off the shelves and spreading newspaper all over the place.

A Few More Updates and Reflections:

Lovely flowers on the Runner Beans

Isn't Spinach pretty?

I have a few infant Broad Beans

The Runner Beans are doing well
