So this is Easter weekend, Spring is officially here and I can finally get the rest of my spuds in. Yesterday after chitting for a couple of weeks we buried Nicola and Desiree - I mean sowed, we sowed them (although with the raising up of the earth it really did look like we had buried them!). The other pots I put in on St Patrick's Day have not started to show yet, however I am hoping as the soil warms up they will get going soon.
Also this week I planted rhubarb crowns and strawberries - both of which are quite hardy, and some lettuce under a polytunnel to get it going. We also had our first allotment inspection on Saturday which seemed a scary prospect as we have only had the site since 5th March! However, I have been told no news is good news and we haven't heard anything as of yet so I am taking it we have passed.The onions have started to make an appearance too :) unfortunately so have the slugs but I guess it goes with the territory!
All in all things are ticking along nicely, sweetcorn out next weekend and it might start to look like a proper plot :)Lots of love and happy digging
Tracey xx
