mini mid-season harvest

I came back from holiday, whilst London had its heatwave, to find the carrots had needing thinning some time ago, so picked out what had become baby harlequin carrots!
Felt the spuds had enough time but the harvest was tiny from 3 grow bags!

Next job is to dig beans and peas into ground and plant squash or pumpkin seedlings there.

Beans - 1 Blackfly - 0

A decent crop despite the plants being covered in blackfly! 

After a week away and London's best bit of sunshine this year, the plot nearly got over grown by weeds!

I wish I'd taken a 'before' picture, but instead I have two 'after' pictures.

Two crates worth of weeds (plus some spring onions I couldn't remember planting!)

Newly laid bark chippings to help the battle
