Sunday 27th January 2013 after the bad weather finally able to get on my plot

I was very happy this morning when i looked out to see no more white stuff on the ground :)

I took callum with me to the allotment this afternoon i only planned to pick a cabbage and dig up some parsnips but we ended up doing more!!
I decided to dig up some leeks and the last 2 remaining savoy cabbages this left us with more ground to dig over , it was was good to finally be able to do something to the soil when i did go down just before christmas the ground had been frozen so we couldn't dig where the carrots had been and i was beginning to think it would have been a mad rush to get it done in time, the only bits left now are where the two cages stand

Also dug up some parsnips i think there are about 2 left ,i checked on the purple sprouting broccoli and found it was ready :)  there are lots of side sprouts forming so looks like i'll be getting lots more to pick soon
