normal view from the top rubarb is doing my head in now, i want to cut it down there is only so much rubarb crumble you can eat in a year. maybe i can distill it ;)

Lets see how this changes over the next few weeks, Roy from next door helped me cut the side shots from the tomatoes today i get the feeling that he misses them a bit his green house blew down last year i hope our polu tunnel lasts a bit longer
these are the chillies, peppers, obergienes its like our own personal italy












We have loads of different tomates
  • gardeners delight
  • romania
  • yellow
  • secillia
  • etc
  • ect
  • tce ......i think i will have lots of tomatoes.....right at the end is cucomber.








TA DA...we are very proud of our little shak we decided to put put it up on the windest day of the year, fritha bearly blew away a couple of times, and i got cramp from using the staple gun to much...and bumpted my head about 20 times..but it was worth it.











I think the heat might be getting to me















Fritha looks like shes just had a really nice sweet...either that or shes asleep....frith hope that she might grow a bit in the poly tunnel.



whats this space i dont know what im going to do with all my food in september.

How lucky to have such a great poly tunnel - I can't wait to see all your tomatoes etc later in the year.

I have just planted out my plants!

Your allotment looks great and weed free.

How about making Schnapps with your rhubarb. Use the leaves to keep slugs at bay or lay them on the ground and use them as mulch

Rhubarb fool is nice, which is natural yoghourt and cooked rhubarb with some sugar or even better is rhubarb and strawberries in equal amounts boiled up together and that to added to natural yoghourt. Don't get rid of it though, just let it sit there and do nothing. Rhubarb is a wonderful plant and great for the intestines.
