Tau<p>i black fly </p><p>My broadbeans are also infested. </p><p>Otherwise there it goes; been to the plot yesterday to replace a broken window pane, replaced it with a slice of thick white plastic, temporarily, as I like to sit in the greenhouse (*) and look outside, to check what birds and other critters pass by; and there it was, a sparrowhawk (I think) landed on the hedge and looked around, then flying off.</p><p>Beans are growing but slowly; no standard runner beans, none, have Borlotti, Pinto, Black and White butter, something should come up nicely.</p><p>Grapes are doing really well, 28 cuttings all have taken, in a dozen years should be able to get me some red wine lol! </p><p>Cabbage, cauli peppers, tobacco, trying to grow, we'll see.</p><p>Dug up a potato indoors and what do I know! <br>b three spuds! WOW!<br> interestingly this container where the plant was... back then filled half of it with ground from outside, a heap donated by neighbour, BUT... it has turned into clay and the spuds didn't grow in it! Had them for dinner last night.</p><p>Tomatoes getting on, getting there sooner or later, hopefully before the plague arrives.</p><p>(*) for a smoke, some writing ( fountain pen on paper, very ancient way of writing), some rest.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allotment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a>' photography <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/beans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beans</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/tomatoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tomatoes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cabbage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cabbage</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cauliflower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cauliflower</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/tobacco" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tobacco</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sparrowhawk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sparrowhawk</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildlife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>birds</span></a></p>
