Allotment update

It's been a while since I posted about the allotment, and even longer since I posted pics (tend to forget my camera!) so here's a few photo's to show you how it's coming along...

This is my NEW SHED ! A lovely present from my parents :) Just put up last weekend, today DP painted it and because it is so windy and exposed on our site, put in 2 fence posts to secure it to. The little plastic greenhouse I bought a couple of months ago, it was a bargain at £35, and houses my tomato plants and seedlings. It has taken a bit of a battering in the wind, but has stayed firm, and is just the job.


It's getting there! 8 rectangular beds have been dug, I could do more but unlikely this year. In there I have on the the go early and maincrop potatoes, both are doing well, onions (red and white), jerusalem artichokes, garlic, carrots, parsnip, lettuce, radish, blueberry bushes and from today, Romanesco and pak choi. Still to plant out are cauliflower, corgette, pumpkin only 1 remaining, others have broken at the stems :(, alpine strawberries (hanging basket?) and various beans.

And here's me hard at work!
