Too hot to handle

Well the big plans for the wekend went right out of the window due to the weather. It was far too hot to be down on the unshaded allotment so the compost bins will have to wait! Having said that I did get chance for a couple of hours split over Saturday and Sunday when I managed to dig a new triple row for leeks and then transplant them in. Fingers crossed for a bumper crop.

Other than that I did a bit of watering and hoeing to clear the weeds that have been growing in abundance. The pumpkins are really coming along now as are the onions both shown below (please look past the weeds!). The potatoes are slowly doing their thing but they always look a poor relation to my neighbours plots who got theirs in a few weeks earlier.
