When we arrived down the allotment this morning (about 10:30) there was only really one parking space left. Must be a sign that the growing season has started in earnest.
There had been a new delivery of half-decent chippings so we spent nearly two hours sprucing up the paths.
Planted some more carrots and some sweet peas, The carrots are an experiment to see which method grows the best ones as last year we did abysmally with our carrot crop. This year we've tried planting the seeds directly in the soil, transplanting seedlings from plugs directly into the ground, and also planting the plugs themselves with the seedlings in.
I fixed a couple of catches to the shed door to help keep it firmly shut and fed the blueberries and goji berry. We dug up one of the rhubarb plants that had gone particularly woody.
We also did a bit of weeding to keep on top of it, especially the mares-tail which was running rampant in the top bed.
Following the watering last week (about 15 bucketloads) the potatoes are doing great.
Then finally, before we left, we picked another few asparagus tips. Second week in a row we've had a decent amount.
