Beds filling up and everything growing well

Most of the seedlings had hardened off and were ready to plant. The onions that I had planted earlier in the year had started shooting up well and the broad beans were getting bigger. I also put in some Maris Peer tubers and shallots. My daughter planted the pumpkin plants  which needed a lot of space for future growth. I was pleased to see the bed filling up and was keen to utilise as much space as possible.

The salad bed was progressing well too! I had a few varieties of lettuce on the go and the spring onions were doing well. I had planted kale in the salad bed naively I didn't realise how big they would get until an allotment friend told me :/  I planned to move them to the bigger vegetable bed at a later date. 

When I took on the allotment I was a complete novice at gardening and I expect to make many mistakes. But that's how I like to learn. I was just really pleased that I had things growing and that I would get something to harvest. The lettuces were a success along with the radishes and spring onions. So that was good enough for me :)
