It felt more like march at the allotment today ,that was until i started edging my plot soon worked up a sweat!!
Todays main task was to earth up first earlies i have 2 or 3 rows i cant remember, but only 2 are showing through ive already earthed them up and now the mound is too high to do it anymore , a frost is due on Saturday and Sunday night so I'm going down at the weekend to cover with newspaper and fleece .I'm relieved i delayed planting this year as this time last year the same thing happened and a frost came me and callum had 6 rows to cover up quick.
Had a quick check on the strawberries and they are beginning to flower so fruit will soon be here :)
Next i had a check on my plot boundaries and decided to claim back some of my plot from the weeds that are creeping on and making the path much wider and my plot smaller this took a while!! and ill do the other side next time
The silverskin onions i sowed the other week are just coming through as are some of the beetroot ...no sign of the parsnips yet they are under fleece with the beetroot.
I have sown some swede in my greenhouse have lots more to sow on my list to do this month
Enough rambling I'm going to check on here now what i was doing this time last year I'm sure things were much further on!!
