25th April

Ive been given a bit more land, so I now have a full allotment.  It took several days to clear it, and John came and moved the fence for me.  Ive moved our seated area to the side of the greenhouse, it was in front before, and made it difficult to get into the greenhouse.  Ive laid down weed suppressant and we've found enough bark chips from the fence line where they are dumped to cover the area.
Im going to enlarge the pond and make it deeper. I planted cabbage today, and tomorrow I'll go back and plant broccoli and brussel sprouts.  Im going to plant pumpkins and squashes on the new area for this year.

                                              above the new area covered in weeds.

                                           The area almost completely weeded,

                                    Today, the area cleared, and beneath the white environmesh are cabbages

1st April

Havent been on here for a while.  The allotment is all dug over, though the weeds are fighting back.
All my potatoes chitted at once, some in the bags we bought them in, so we went went down last weekend and planted the lot.  Ive also planted onions and peas.  Ive seedlings everywhere in the house, accompanied by little flys, so tomorrow Im going to transport the lot down to the allotment and put them in the greenhouse.
I love this tim of year.  Ive got a flower bed with primroses, day lillies and sweetpeas already planted, and several bulbs, and Ive got daliahs and lots of packets of seeds to go in. 
My pond had some returning frogs who laid frog spawn, and they have all hatched, Im really pleased about that because its the first year I havent had to transport spawn up there.  :o)
