To our local gardening club to pick up bamboo poles for our beans and some topsoil. Weather note: sunny, cloudy, stormy, rainy, not warm - something for everyoneThen along to survey progress of the crops planted two weeks ago.
Much joy, loyal readers, as sun, rain and water have transformed our dried peas into seedlings. We also note first appearance of leek seedlings in the seed bed that look like tiny grass (sown a long time ago now), and on-going broccoli and cabbage seedling progress, snug in their home-made cloches etc.
The peas which began their life in guttering on our conservatory windowsill are also ready for planting in the fruit cage.
Also the apple trees are budding.
It's time for our main-crop potatoes to join the early crop comrades. 20 planted today.
Finally, Raised Bed 3 is uncovered and the bamboo poles are put to use as the frame for our beans. At the base of each pole is some of our own home-made compost.
The Neighbours breach plot security to join us with Oscar Dog, who meets Leo Dog.
Much joy all round.
Looking forward to the harvest.
(Note by K: this will be an Allotment Society-free blog. Though there is much going on, we will remain true to the original mission of our blog. Which is to entertain you with the little goings-on in our own particular patch of earth.)
