A Pak Choi question..
Growing nicely but some are starting to flower. Should I pick & eat these ones first?

Yes they are starting to bolt so bet to get them used up before they go over completely.
They have a tendency to bolt, early and late sowings can help with it. In the current wether keep the watering up as that helps generally with bolting many vegetables.

Cheers, I thought so. I'll eat a lot, give some to neighbours & freeze the rest.

For the last three years I've allowed the grass area on my allotment to grow and flower apart from a small seating area. We get beautiful evening sun up there and it's great place to enjoy a glass.

Why cut grass when you can have this?

First picking of blueberries of 2023 and still lots to ripen yet .

Oh and a few strawberries.

We planted some laurel a few years but because it is behind a south facing fence it just hasn’t got going. The fence was a post and rail which the previous owner covered in feather board. Today I removed all the boarding. Only took about an hour.

Pleased with the results, should have done it years ago!

That looks better without the feather board.

How many blueberry plants have you got? Are they easy to look after, and do you know the name of the plant?
