<p>Back to the allotment this week for my&nbsp;<a href="https://thepropagatorblog.wordpress.com/2017/09/18/six-on-saturday-a-participant-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Six on Saturday</a>, with some successes and some utter failures!</p>



<span id="more-265"></span>



<ol><li>First up is a semi-success &#8211; I replanted a lot of my original strawberry plants, and unfortunately most haven&#8217;t survived. However, the new strawberry plants seem to be making up for it (Sweet Collossus and Just Add Cream have several runners).<br>
<figure><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-273" src="https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/strawberry-bed01.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="386" srcset="https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/strawberry-bed01.jpg 650w, https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/strawberry-bed01-300x178.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px" /></figure><br>
If only I could stop whatever&#8217;s eating a hole in the net getting in and pinching the strawberries before I can pick them!<br>
.</li><li>Next we have an annual semi-disaster, which resolves itself by the time these autumn fruiting raspberries are meant to bear fruit&#8230;<br>
Yes, that&#8217;s raspberry beetle grubs yet again&nbsp;<figure><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-270" src="https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/raspberry-beetle-1.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="386" srcset="https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/raspberry-beetle-1.jpg 650w, https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/raspberry-beetle-1-300x178.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px" /></figure><br>
But looking at the raspberry jungle, I&#8217;m hopeful that once we get past summer fruiting season, the autumn fruits will be grub-free!<br>
<figure><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-272" src="https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/raspberry-jungle.jpg" alt="" width="386" height="650" srcset="https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/raspberry-jungle.jpg 386w, https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/raspberry-jungle-178x300.jpg 178w" sizes="(max-width: 386px) 85vw, 386px" /></figure><br>
.</li><li>Remember that mystery plant in my wild flower patch? I&#8217;m taking an educated guess that it&#8217;s some form of thistle!<br>
<figure><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-269" src="https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/mystery-is-a-thistle.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="386" srcset="https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/mystery-is-a-thistle.jpg 650w, https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/mystery-is-a-thistle-300x178.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px" /></figure><br>
.</li><li>The celery&#8217;s been planted out, and looks like it&#8217;ll grow well &#8211; maybe it&#8217;s a bit hot for that to grow too much this week<br>
<figure><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-268" src="https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/celery.jpg" alt="" width="386" height="650" srcset="https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/celery.jpg 386w, https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/celery-178x300.jpg 178w" sizes="(max-width: 386px) 85vw, 386px" /></figure><br>
.</li><li>A complete disaster next, the Broad Beans had blackfly (Black Bean Aphid), Pea and Bean Weevil, Rust&nbsp;<em>and</em> Chocolate Spot&#8230; but that did give me a chance to write a <a href="https://allotmenteering.co.uk/?p=257" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blog post</a> on it<br>
<figure><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-267" src="https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/broad-beans-disaster.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="386" srcset="https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/broad-beans-disaster.jpg 650w, https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/broad-beans-disaster-300x178.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px" /></figure><br>
.</li><li>And to finish on a success, this is just part of the blackberry bush.<br>
<figure><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-266" src="https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/blackberries.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="386" srcset="https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/blackberries.jpg 650w, https://allotmenteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/blackberries-300x178.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px" /></figure><br>
I think I can safely say it approves of the support we made for it this year, as there&#8217;s shed loads of fruit forming!</li></ol>
