Weather has really been on our side lately and both Saturday & today the sun has been out it. Popped upto the allotment today after taking some compost from our bin up there and also some frames that my Hubby got from work.

These frames are brilliant they are about the size of a pallet but hinged so you just open them out. I've got four so two have been done ready for strawberrys to go in next year with compost and straw mulch already in. I've decided that the other two are for salad crops. Three frames are in the new fruit plot and the other one is over in the first bed. I'm hoping he can get some more of these frames as they look so nice and tidy but I could be waiting along time as they don't come up that often.

Harvested some more brocolli, can't believe it just keeps coming ( not that i'm complaining) and some spinach.

Crops growing on the allotment now.

The crops for harvesting now are : kale, brocolli, spinach & leeks.
Ready for Christmas : Savoy cabbage, brussel sprouts, parsnips & swede(hope they get a bit bigger or i'll leave them).
Ready for Spring: Spring cabbage, purple sprouting brocolli, broad beans & carrots.
Ready for Summer : Onions & Garlic.

I have summer cauliflowers ready to be planted & lettuce in my plastic greenhouse.

An overview I haven't done too bad for the first year alot better than I thought I would. I am only now just buying veg from the supermarket as crops are reduced so I think thats good going really, don't you??
