At long last, we have finally had a lasting fall of rain, and it has truly breathed life into the garden and plot, it has been fantastic to not have to use the sprinkler in the garden for the last couple of days, and the allotment has finally had a growth spurt, and things are looking rather well.
And lurking under the broad bean plants are the first succulent looking pods of the year I can’t wait until they are a little fuller and ready to be pulled.
Last year the Broad Beans were attacked terribly by black fly, but as these plants were got in very early, they have so far remained untouched, I’m not sure if the later sown plants will get away so lightly but the tops have been pinced out so hopefully we’ll be okay.
WOW, what a difference a lil bit of rain makes!!
