Allotment - Mid August 2011

I spent a couple of hours at the Allotment this afternoon, digging up some potatoes and harvesting runner beans, courgettes, lettuces, a couple of onions.  Then I carried on tackling the new bit which hasn't been dug over yet, removing lots of stroil and feeling very virtuous.

There was a frog in the pond today but photos of it didn't come out clearly, so are some of the rest of the photos:

 Beetroot, onions, marigolds, lettuces and windmill:

As you can see the beetroot looks rather sparse - that's because we've picked so many. I'm pleased to say that there are some tiny ones coming along for later.
