Been a while but busy nonetheless

Been a while since I posted but things are moving on the allotment.
Just a word first about my second year growing veg for show. First of all, it would be unfair to blame the weather for my performance this year. If I,m honest, I have learned lots (again) and I think it will stand me in good stead for next time. I grew long carrots for the 1st time and was fairly pleased with them and although I didnt make it to an NVS event, I did produce a set which won locally. I`m currently building a new greenhouse for next years long carrots, and the stump bed is finished and filled with sand in the polytunnel.
It was all a bit of a rush this year so I`m pleased I got the jump on things and started to prep early.
See pic of the long carrot greenhouse base below.
Onwards !
