- slugs have munched my lettuce
- my pumpkin has doubled in size
- lots of ripe red cherry tomatoes
- a couple of kilos of courgettes
- beans ready to pick on the tepee's
- a rather dry and thirsty patch
- knee high grass (again)
- a sea of weeds

The patch holiday neglect?
So you go away for a bit of summer fun in the Isle of Wight (highly recommended for a holiday) then you come back and a quick check at the patch reveals.

My allotment was neglegted for a fortnight while we went on holiday too.
I came home to find cabbages which look like doilys after the slugs had been at them, and a courgette the size of a marrow. The weeds had been enjoying themselves left to their own devices though.
Those courgettes look lovely.
It's always a bit of a relief, I find, to return to a bit of an unkempt patch and not a complete jungle!

Our veg plot is a jungle of beans and weeds and blackberries! And sooooooo dry.
But we have sweetcorn and tomatoes and grapes and damsons - can't complain!
Your yellow courgettes and little cherry tomatoes look fantastic.
