Went up to the lottie after The Archers to do a bit of harvesting . Picked broad beans, peas, dug garlic and have put it on racks to dry under a bit of shelter (they're looking good), also picked some tayberries, logans, the first raspberries, blackcurrants and a few flowers.
Weeded (it was more like removing forest) between the spring planted onions. Noted that shallots and overwintered onions that I'd loosened from the ground can probably be lifted for drying now. A lot of the red onions bolted this year so shall probably not bother with them next year.
Also noted that the potato blight has crept up the allotment site and mine are showing the first signs so shall cut the foliage down after tomorrows promised/threatened deluge. Since we haven't had much rain this season I don't expect much of a spud harvest. The blight arrived later last year and I managed to dig enough to last me through the winter but this year?
Resolved again to keep up with the work throughout next winter so that I shan't be playing catch-up to the same extent next year. I make this resolution regularly as I look at my plot and dream of what could have been.....
