Update on The Allotment

Most of the credit for work done in the allotment goes to Husband. I am often swanning about on several thousand pounds worth of horse whilst he is toiling away. I can however claim credit for the grass being mown, and some of the seeds being planted - either the ones which get started off in the cold frame, or the really fiddly ones like Parsnip, for which I have more patience. The straight lines? Well I think you can guess who is responsible for those!
Fruit bushes were pruned and are now setting fruit nicely

Runner Beans have been planted out in the last few days, into a bed which had been under polythene for a month or two, so is lovely and warm. Chantenay carrots under the cloche (to avoid carrot fly) and courgettes over the far side

The remains of the winter sprouting broccoli, which is still cropping, broad beans, space for leeks which are currently in our friends greenhouse, Beetroot under the cloche

And the same bed again - beetroot under the cloche, parsnips, shallots and onions, with Sugar snap peas on the other side of the trellis

Out of view are some summer sprouting plants in the nursery beds, along with a few more carrots, some chard and some spring onions

I don't think we'll be going hungry this year.
