Our allotment

Sometimes my little haven for peace & quiet where I love to grow things I can share with my family & friends.

Finally got there

to the allotment this morning to water the ground as it was so hard so that I could plant a few potatoes tomorrow & parnip seeds. I know i'm very late but its finding time. I've covered over half of one side with plastic as I don't think i'll have very much going in this year. I managed to get some ground prepared for planting tomorrow. I'm pleased to say my raspberries survived the move and are coming along nicely. The greenhouse now needs about 5-6 pains of glass so that will be done in a couple of weeks. The garlic is up and looking good. The onions are through. Broad beans are just showing. I also mowed the grass so all in all alot was done today.
The other news is we went to collect the black croad chick to keep the light sussex company. Its just settling in. I brought 6 more hatching eggs and they have gone in the incubator so lets see what we get this time. A picture will follow shortly.
The back yard allotment is going strong, lettuce, beetroot, spinach seeds are all showing. I now have 2 tomatoes seeds growing and the courgette & olgen melen have just come through.
Sunday tomorrow so parnips here we come x
