Yesterday dug up the potatoes at the allotment - the last produce we will have this year.  It was very disappointing up at the allotment to see that the people who took over from us haven't grown anything.  Only a tiny portion of soil has been cleared and nothing planted.  Such a disappointment as we handed the plot over to new people to give them chance to grow stuff this year.  They haven't even weeded around plants which we'd left for them: white onions, red onions, shallots, beetroot and  soft fruit.  At this time of year the allotment should be buzzing - literally  - with bees and other insects enjoying all the pollen from runner beans, courgettes, sweet corn.
