Plot thickens...
Plot thickens...
It's all systems go again down on the allotment...
The plot is three-quarters dug over as we speak and a dozen bags of manure-rich compost have been bought and stashed, ready to be worked into the soil.
It's all looking pretty bare at the moment - a blank canvas we like to think - but we're prepping the ground ready for the year's fruitful endeavours, we hope.
There are onions in one raised bed and we have bought the scaffolding boards for another couple of raised beds too.
The tatties are ready to go in. And there has been much plotting and planning with regard to what goes where. It's all still fluid but the seeds have been started already for cauliflowers, white radishes, leeks and courgettes (a big success last year). Also planned are green beans on wigwams, raspberries, strawberries, various herbs and lettuces.
And next door to us have been busy bees. Quite literally. As the neighbouring plot has plans to move a beehive in. Should bee interesting... Watch this space.
