The Allotment awaits

Off to get the Smalls up after this post, and as the weather is dry and fortunately not too windy a la yesterday when we had gusts strong enough to blow the Smallest off her feet!

There is much to be done sown the plot as Hubby and I are off for a well deserved weekend away, our first ever without the children. And even though I’m not down there every day, I tend to find that if I’ve gone away for a couple of days, its like someone has moved in down the plot and been planting weeds for me, whereas they don’t seem to grow quite so quickly when I’m around to keep an eye on them!

So today I SHOULD be planting out Broccoli seedlings (and hopefully setting some more when I get home)

Sowing more parsnips now the first rows have come through

Sowing, Chard, Spinach beet, Carrots, French beans and Swedes.

The Borlotti and French beans that I sowed earlier have been an absolute disaster and discussing it with a neighbour he has also had terrible germination this year too, well I live in hope for this lot.

Oh, nearly forgot I have a couple of Pumpkin and Courgette Plants to go out too, I reckon that the allotment should be well on its way to full by now…
