Here we are this photo was taken 8weeks after i took on the allotment, roughly the begining of June, here i have two rows of cabbages, four rows of radish's, seven rows of potatoes, two rows of carrots(got attacked by something called carrot fly which i new very little of being new to this, now this has changed and i'm ready for the little buggers next year) i planted thirty-two runner beans but i'm sad to say only one has come up and has been very slow, i think i planted them alittle to late.... so i felt really pleased at what i achieved in 8weeks

Great Blog Simon, what a lot of effort you've put in. I had to titter at your comment about carrot fly..i was the same i couldn't understand what happened to my carrots until my father in law explained. Took me a few years before i got the hang of it. The main prob seems to be thinning and i have noticed that a little carrot can have a huge aroma and apparently the lady carrot fly can smell this at quite a distance! Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing more of your progress.
