Phew! That’s the exams done and dusted. Until I start the next RHS Level Two course in September and sit the next set of exams in February 2017, that is.
My pre-exam weekend was spent down the allotment, on the grounds that I’d already crammed about as much into my head as was going to fit, so a bit of fresh air and exercise was likely to do me more good. Here’s what the place was looking like:
Not long now until the start of the courgette glut, and the spuds are looking good.The bean army marches into the distance, with a few flowers showing at the far end.Yeah, those carrots are going to need to be thinned out a.s.a.p.The mangetout peas and broad beans are coming along nicely. First pickings before too long.Onions romping away, garlic looking like it’s ready for lifting.The corn, squash and beans are co-habiting well, so far. I’ll need to keep an eye on the squash foliage though.Ever wondered what parsnips do if you leave them in the ground for season two? They do this…
It’s starting to look a lot like Summer. My next few Harvest Monday posts should be a bit more interesting and varied, too.
