Not bad for a couple of virgins!

Hi everyone and welcome to the Allotment Virgins Midsummer Bumper Harvest!
Our first try at carrots has done really well. We're going to plant a second row of chantenay seeds (red cored 2 variety!) - now we've tasted fresh and homegrown there's no going back! Salad is becoming a staple these days as the "cut and come again" varieties of mixed leaves that we've planted are doing just that! Hopefully they'll be on the menu until the first frost!
All of our onions are out of the ground now and are residing in the garden to bake in the sun a little before tying.

Potatoes are coming out today - any advice on storing them?
Lots of them will be eaten up this Sunday as roasties anyway :)






Delicious!
















Onions are drying out now!

We've had a lot of wind and there was some damage but all in all things are going well.

The Allotment Virgins are now preparing for a new adventure - midsummer - winter planting (leeks, spinach beet, kale etc!) Some tips would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks as always!

Love Kayleigh and Chris
