Made it there today picked sprouts, and had a check round. All very wet and soggy, very mild though, the car reckoned it was 16 C quite mad. The Rhubarb is sprouting and the daffodils under the plum tree are showing green tips already.
Happy New Year everyone 😁 I agree @barry island the new season seems to come upon us quicker each year. I have already sorted the seeds and where they are going, so it's just wait till sowing time for me.
Not made it to the plots all week. The only 2 dry non frosty days were spent attending to a leaky greenhouse roof light at home. Pleased that when I checked this morning, my efforts seem to have worked.
Hello , only caught a mouse so far A few trips to allotment , cut and burnt Jureslum Artichokes stems , then covered with bark/green chippings , 10 barrow loads Cleared up cabbage 🥬 bed and covered with membrane until needed Bought Maris Piper main crop and Foremost 1st early potatoes 🥔 , now chitting
Getting to plots a couple of times a week. Did manage some bits of digging but melting frost makes the surface very sticky. Yesterday harvested sprouts and parsnips. I am eyeing the PSB with anticipation, but will wait till it's headed up a bit more to make the harvest more worthwhile. Resisted buying seed spuds, as keeping them frost free but in the light is tricky here.
@Allotment Boy I’ve got spuds chitting in conservatory at home so no chance they’ll get frosted Broad beans & spring onions coming up nicely but under clouches
Hope everyone is well. I didn't get down to the plot as much as I'd liked last year. It's 8 yrs this'month since I got it, quite a mile stone when you think most don't get through the first year 😁
