Nice article by Dan Pearson in this week’s Observer magazine on what to grow on your allotment this year.

I think I might take his advice on the french beans this time round as the dwarf variety I grew last year were buckling under their own weight midway through the season:

Another mini harvest tonight – this time of my red shallots that have got away from me slightly, though to be honest I wasn’t sure when to dig them up. I also took quite a few pictures of the other things that are growing in my garden…*obsessed*

The only thing I’m avoiding doing is weeding…maybe I’ll get the dog on that one… “Midge!”…

My first potatoes…they made a lovely sunday lunch!

Fresh and sweet – I present my first peas! These are a variety called “Kelvendon Wonder” and they’re lovely.

Couple of cute little pickings I made accidentally whilst weeding…whoops. They made lovely mini veg though!

More about Ragged Radishes…

Ragged Radishes is the allotment blog of Lucy Crosbie (that's me). As a novice allotment owner, I took on plot no. 27 at the Burras Lane site in Otley, West Yorkshire in Oct 2006. This is my online diary charting the redevelopment of the site over the next year.

Have a read, or just a nosey around and please feel free to comment on my posts and photos...
