What a beautiful day.

Popped to the allotment just to do a little an ended up spending 3 hrs doing this and that. It was very nice and relaxing as the children stayed at home the most stressful thing was trying to untangle a net to cover the cauliflowers and cabbages.

The purple sprouting brocolli is on a roll now and producing a nice lot of heads.

I couldn't decide whether to plant my red cabbages and greyhound out as they were doing so well at home in there pots but decided to get them in to make room at home.

Here are the beauties. Just like my cauli's until I plant them at the allotment and something eats them. I really enjoy planting the seed watching it grow but get down hearted when you watch your hard work being eaten away and not by you.

Here they are planted up. Forgot to count how many have gone in.

Here are the poor cauliflowers that have been eaten and not doing very well.

The peas are in flower already but not very high so looks like I may only get one pod per plant haha. We need a good shower of rain really to get the ground soaked and help the plants to grow.

The broad beans are doing very well, touch wood........no black fly yet. Green fly is around had to pull up a cabbage and some PSB as they were covered in it.

Germination has gone swingly all 7 aubergines are up, 3 telegraph cucumbers also trying some crystal apple and crystal lemon this year and one seed has started showing in 1 week. Yellow, bush, plum, moneymaker tomatoes are up. Just the black cherry I have had trouble with. Lots of fennel, patty pan courgette different cabbages are coming along nicely.

Have a good week to all that read. Try and doing something you haven't done for a long time.
