Oddbean new post about login | logout As such we popped down to the #allotment site for a "quick" visit to drop them off. That turned into a three hour visit. First thing we clocked is the outdoor tomatoes have the dreaded blight. 😞 I stayed well away from them and the first job I did was fairly aggressively de-leaf the polytunnel tomatoes, which still have loads of good sized fruit on them and no signs of blight ... yet. 🤞 https://toot.ale.gd/system/media_attachments/files/111/076/514/023/160/773/original/32946c4959f15304.jpg https://toot.ale.gd/system/media_attachments/files/111/076/514/854/499/432/original/09eaef18523272ba.jpg
There was, of course, an #allotment harvest... oh, so much harvest. We already are reaping what we sowed. The photo of produce on the table is just the #polytunnel harvest. The chillies are starting to ripen, with some nice bishops crowns and orange drops coming through now, as well as the whippet tails, serranos, and wraiths. Some of the crops forming on the plants are immense, fingers crossed there is time for plenty to ripen. 🤞 https://toot.ale.gd/system/media_attachments/files/111/076/525/819/655/044/original/8a12126611dbd418.jpg https://toot.ale.gd/system/media_attachments/files/111/076/537/693/841/817/original/a4e27d694761884a.jpg https://toot.ale.gd/system/media_attachments/files/111/076/537/844/806/735/original/d89ec9de6df0579b.jpg https://toot.ale.gd/system/media_attachments/files/111/076/537/956/422/011/original/ef14787d97a66767.jpg
More harvest from outdoors on the polytunnel plot, and the shed plot. Our late late (and only, this year) carrots are starting to be of use it seems. They are red and purple varieties. I'm not sure if there is blight amongst the potato planters on this plot, a couple looked suspect but it's hard to tell when the plants are dying back anyway. As a precaution I removed all of the foliage today. https://toot.ale.gd/system/media_attachments/files/111/076/545/804/731/845/original/ab97b5e7aab6c595.jpg https://toot.ale.gd/system/media_attachments/files/111/076/545/957/140/615/original/4b4d0e6793c7cd07.jpg
The bean tunnel on the shed plot has totally collapsed. Fixing that is a job for another day, and building a more robust one a job for the winter I reckon. Just couldn't be arsed harvesting more beans, many have got too big anyway. Just going to leave them be... wonder if the purple beans can work as dry beans. https://toot.ale.gd/system/media_attachments/files/111/076/567/688/476/774/original/4d073e998aab3554.jpg
