March 1st 2012

Finally found the time to visit my allotment this morning :) there wasn't much to do hardly any weeds which was good!! I put some manure around the fruit bushes and had a little dig around wasn't there long
i did finally remember a soil sample from the area i want to grow cabbages,cauliflowers and sprouts ect they don't like soil to be too acid ,last year i added some lime and things seemed to grow well.




confirms i need lime again ill do it as soon as the potatoes are in don't want to risk putting it on an area where they might be going as they hate lime

This afternoon a spent a good hour in my greenhouse sowing seeds :):) here's what i started

tomato gardeners delight for pots outside

tomato minibel  for hanging baskets

tomato alacante which I'm growing in the greenhouse

cabbage golden acre

cabbage savoy

brussel sprouts

just a couple of each cabbage as i plan to stagger them so they are not all ready at the same time
also sowed some paris silverskin shallots like the ones you buy in jars :)

think i might be back in there again tomorrow as i have so much to do I'm growing everything in my greenhouse and transferring later to my allotment

Here is a picture of just a few of my potatoes chitting
