I've just been looking back on here at last years blog posts from the allotment the weather was very warm in fact one post mid April the temp in my car was 30C!!! and i seem to have been much further on with things ..... this is what i wanted though as i was too eager to start things last year and a lot of stuff was stuck at home waiting to go out but couldn't because of frosts
Another trip to the allotment today and it was very cold!!!! but once we got stuck in and the sun came out it wasn't too bad.
Today's jobs were to plant some peas not many just about 8 that had grown too big i have about another 60 in the greenhouse, some just sown others germinated all at various stages. They didn't take long to plant it was the supports that i put it that took up the time , i did take a picture but it wasn't that good.
I also took down my paris silverskin onions that i have grown from seed they are the variety that come pickled in jars ..different from normal onion sets and shallots ...these are similar to spring onions in how they grow, each seedling produces one white bulb that you pick when they are at the size you like and you don't have to wait for the leaves to die off , i intend to pick mine when they are about the size of a marble ...
There was plenty of chatting today with my plot neighbours saw one of them today i haven't seen since last summer hope i get down there next week but looking at the forecast it's another week of sunshine and showers
