MY PLOTI’M EXTREMELY pleased with my meadow this year – ablaze of orange, red, white, yellow and blue; here evenbetween my Runner Beans! I did weed them out after takingthe picture though – not because of spoiling my bean crop, butbecause they got trampled on when I was picking.You couldn’t possibly see, but there are several courgette,marrow and cucumber plants in there as well. I had to weedaround them just so I could see where to water! At the time ofwriting, I am hoping that when they ‘take off’, they will be ableto hold their own – swamping the competition from thepoppies.eating the tops off lots of crops, the eggs makegood eating (though we all dread a fox findingthem) yet we’re all fascinated by her determinationand tenacity.I am not very good at getting parsnips to growfrom seed. They are tricky – it’s not just me – andsometimes they simply refuse to germinate. That isunless you let a plant flower and go to seed. Thenit does it all by itself! Last spring, I let some selfsown-seedlingsgrow on if they were in convenientplaces and these are some of the results ... Notthe prettiest parsnips but large (the banana is therefor scale; I didn’t grow it) and tasty. In fact thestraight ones were so long (30-40cm) theysnapped off when I lifted them so the multi-rootmonsters were actually better in some waysbecause they were shallower. Either way, they’rebetter than I can do deliberately.Caroline MazzeyIt’s against the rules to have poultryon the allotments, but this henpheasant made its nest in themiddle of a potato bed and laid nineeggs!Even after most of her cover wasblown when the spuds were lifted,she stayed for many more days.Again, at the time of writing wedon’t know what will happen next.There is a conflict of interests, toput it mildly. Pheasants are a pest –25
