Next week...

Today at the allotment... 

What was said last week, applies particularly to this week. It was cold and the surface soil was quite hard. However, we are getting to the time, when we will be doing some more sowing and planting and that is always an exciting prospect.   I'll be back...     
          

Tidiying up

Growing things in the allotment is very much a matter of pre-planning and patience. There are  always things to do, but sometimes it feels like you have to wait for...something....to happen... 

One thing: a large amount of rubbish was  removed last week. It has made such a bib difference. 

Chillies...weather

It was an important day in the allotment, as we had to try and help to plan out the what, where  and how for the next 3-5 months: the what to grow, maybe chillies, parsnips and broad beans; in which beds they should go and what special preparation would be needed.

Winter...

There has been quite a gap between the last visit  to the allotment (mid December) and that of today. Given recent conditions, there has been little real  change...though the garlic and shallots have grown noticeably!
