Ok, well maybe it hasn’t quite, but it definitely felt like it today. We spent all day at the allotment, there was the monthly meeting this morning, followed by a bit of noseying about the place and signing some new people up. By the time we got to plot 97 the morning frost had disappeared and we got to work. List of things we did:
1. Pilla planted a full bed of two types of garlic (I think this is about three times as much space as last year.
2. Pilla planted a full bed of two types of shallot (about twice as much as last year)
3. I broke down a lot of pallets to finish the fence
4. I finished the raspberry support I started last week
5. We emptied the old compost pots from the greenhouse and filled up some of the beds with it.
This last job is particularly satisfying as the dark compost gives the plot a kind of instant make over – masking the weeds and just making everything look ready for planting in.
Sorry for the quality of the pictures, I was quite looking forward to taking some but the camera batteries were dead.
