St. Swithun’s Day - a few drips of rain at least

After the lightest of showers the allotment looked a bit better. Nestled between the bars of the shed chair, a furry caterpillar has settled in to a sort of nest. I jope it turns into something nice.

The pumpkins are continuing to advance, and the first fruit are changing from pale vanilla to a sort tangarine colour. It looks promising for a good harvest in the autumn.

Not much chard grew but the few plants that did will provide plenty of leaves. They are looking great mixed in with the marigolds.
