Allotment site is busy today.
Some are only just sowing seed!
Others are putting up netting over brassicas and soft fruit. As we are. That is something I forgot to do yesterday. There is a guy who has some little tiny pods on his The Sutton broad beans. Another one has runner bean seedlings comming up in the soil. I germinated mine under glass and are behind his I think. Most activity is earthig up the potates, and drinking tea. Baz |

Most activity is earthig up the potates, and drinking tea. After planning to spend all 4 days of the weekend on the allotment, I just about made it to it by 6.30pm tonight! :-( No tea, and no potatoes to earth up. Ours are still sat on the window sills. Soooo far behind this year! 75% of the way to having a bed ready to get the runner beans into. But after not going last weekend, and all the rain this week, the weeds are HUGE. Nick has been strimming madly. Lots of little green redcurrants, and some slightly bugger green gooseberries. Strawberries flowering like mad. Autumn raspberries are a foot or so tall, but totally weeded over all of a sudden, after all my hard work. :-( Got courgettes, butternut, beans, tomatoes, potatoes and brassicas all ready to go out. Just put some carrot seeds and peas in one of the only available spots. Planning, again, to head out early in the morning. Let's see how it goes ... |

Slugs, and lack of sun anywhere in the garden, means that courgettes, cucumbers and tomatoes will all be in the greenhouse, but at the moment they're on the conservatory windowsill getting used to having been turfed out of a nice warm bathroom. And the cacti have come into flower this week - late, but welcome nonetheless.

Last few years they've been getting covered in something that looks like a ladybird larvae, which I'm a bit surprised at. Planning, again, to head out early in the morning. Let's see how it goes ... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! ? Precisely! |
