Another sunny morning today so off i headed to the allotment i took my 14 year old son with me again ,you wouldn't believe it was so nice as now its raining but as you will see from a couple of pictures i'll post here my soil is so dry it really needs some rain.

I took with me some peas and broad beans that have been hardening off in the cold frame.... after having a chat with another plot holder i got on with putting up some chicken wire to support the peas

 

 

I had sown just the right amount for the row ill have to count them and make a note so i know how many to grow next year

 

 

 



 

Next the broad beans i actually hate them ......but the seeds were free on the front of a magazine i buy so decided to give them a go and pick them when they are small apparently they taste much nicer and sweeter

Still no sign of the shallots sprouting :( or the garlic but having read a few internet forums it seems most that bought wilkos garlic are having the same problem ....oh well there is always next year!!

My son was in charge of cutting back the mint which i grow in black flower buckets as they spread everywhere looks all neat and tidy now :)

ill leave you to look at a picture of my plot as it looked today
