Diamond jubilee weekend

The British weather did its worse again this weekend with non stop rain yesterday, but today bank holiday Monday and the sun is out intermittently, although with a very cold wind.
A half hour trip to the allotment meant some time to do a bit of weeding and with the very wet ground the weeds came up  easily.

The bees are enjoying the chive flowers.

Some of the plants in the salad bed: red salad onions 'apache': beetroot 'kestrel' and spinach 'bordeaux'

And individual 'jubilee' victoria sponges filled with vanilla buttercream and rhubarb compote.
