Another potato plant has succumbed to blackleg. On harvesting, there were only a few useable potatoes.

Harvested over 3lb of broad beans, when shelled only weigh 10oz. These were from those only slightly affected with chocolate spot. The broadies below haven’t yet set pod, but I’ll give them a chance.

Harvested peas too. Tasty, and some made it to the freezer. I can devour peas in a trice.

Spotted a tayberry ripening.

Found some spots on the leaves of kohl rabi. Any ideas?

On the whole, the allotment looks good. The blue sheet covers the sand pit, but contains water so the birdies can have a bath/drink. The one blackbird scared off a sparrow as it wanted to bathe alone.
