Stuff is growing at the allotment :)

Well the garlic is anyway! The fruit canes I planted are now just sticks- I think I may have killed them.
Spent the morning up there with DS1, and planted our early potatoes (Rocket) and red onions. Used the remaining manure to cover all the plots and finished off digging plot number 6, and my neighbour kindly offered to go over a plot with his mini rotivator so I can get a seed bed going. The soil is quite a heavy clay, so it's hard work breaking up those lumps! The beds I had dug a few weeks ago had developed a 'crust' with the recent dry weather we've had so had to go over them again before I could get the tata's in.

There is still plenty to do! At home I have been getting seeds started in punnets - we have cauliflower, corgette, Roma Tomato's, dwarf french beans, alpine strawberries and pumpkin. The only ones to germinate so far, after a week has been the cauli's and a couple of the french beans. I have more to plant yet, but nowhere to put them lol!

I am in desperate need of a shed, I'm getting really fed up of having to transport garden tools every time I want to go over - it means just getting there is a big task, and I only have a small car so can't fit much in. Think I might have to ask for one for my birthday!
