We got up early and I set off home, leaving poor Mr H to his bony Victorians. I had to unload the car and do several loads in the washing machine in between several important phone calls and emails. I managed to get up to the allotment later on. I didn't have time to do much more than pick stuff; the first lot of green beans from the dwarf plants, a couple of shaws of potatoes (looking quite good) and, erm, rather a lot of courgettes.

When I made myself some food later I had pasta with....courgettes. It seemed to make almost no impression on this heap at all.
