cucumebr

I came in late, so didn't go to the allotment. However, those that did go brought back the lettuce seedlings. We also potted up cucumber seeds and placed them in an incubator. The lettuce will be potted on later. Even in the current conditions, everything is doing well.

Beans

Quite a lot of preparation in the allotment today.  We potted broad bean seeds, (ready June at the earliest) and replanted lettuce seedlings into trays. They will both be potted on when they have developed further.    

Potatoes.

We have a great choice of 'seed potatoes' and from these, after they've sprouted, we will plant them out in the allotment-probably about 1st-2nd week  of March I am excited!      

Extra planting...

Today in the allotment it was COLD...2 degrees!  We planted the remaining shallot, garlic and  onion bulbs, obviously to get as many of each, to begin developing as quickly as possible... eventhough the initial planting was two/half months ago.
