My allotment seems to be doing really well lately. I've had a good crop of Blackcurrants, lots of Rhubarb and plenty of Radishes.
Everything appears to have shot up in the last month or so. The Leek seedlings are looking much more healthier, and the Beetroot which I've sown from seed on the 6th of May is almost ready for harvesting.
Early Sprouting Purple Broccoli - sown from seed in a windowsill propagator (see below) on the 8th May, and then planted out about a month ago.
Botanico Windowsill Greenhouse - it's got five individual six celled modules (making it easy to transplant the seedlings), a built-in drip tray, and is quite narrow (Width: 15.7cm), so it'll probably fit most sizes of windowsill. I purchased two of these at about £3.00 each.
Sweet Corn Sweet Bounty F1 - sown from seed in a windowsill propagator, and planted out at the same time as the Broccoli.
Cucurbits which were harvested this morning. From left to right: Courgette Black Beauty, Courgette F1 Jaguar, Yellow Straight Neck Summer Squash, Zucchini Bianca de Triest.
