Cucamelons and a walk around the garden

 I'm chuffed to bits to be able to report that my cucamelons are starting to produce fruit.  They are straggly little plants and I'd wondered whether I ought to pick the first ones off to give the plant a chance to build up. Steve (Steve's Seaside allotment) says he would just leave them on so that's what I am going to do.

I have no idea whether the plant above is a chilli pepper or a Long Red Marconi. Time will tell.

The bed above has been planted with all manner of things to see how much I can grow in a small area.

The left had side is newly transplanted with Chilli peppers, Black Tuscan Kale and some spare Swedes. The right hand side has Celeriac and celery plants. There's still some spring onions to harvest from this bed but I am leaving them to form clumps.

The tub full of cabbage are coming along really well. I have harvested all the radish from in between the plants
