How do you manage to look after all these plants? Do you need to water them all? I'm amazed at what you manage to achieve, and mostly for a good cause as well.

After taking over my plot in the end of October I gave managed to get nine 8'x4' and two 8'x2'. I have nearly finished filling the last bed with riddled compost today and I was able to get beetroots and Swiss chard seeds planted.

It was cold and there was a few minutes where I has hailstones, didn't matter much as my little plot is coming along nicely

Repaired the shed roof with new felt (managed to get 1/3 off in homebase so not too bad). Raked over a bed and out in some supports ready for first sowing of peas next wkend. Collected another buckets worth of stones 

Also made the first plot crumble of the year  - rhubarb picked today and freezer blackberries from last year

rhubarb and blackberry ? that's a new one on me 

Really? I grew up on it! It's gorgeous!

Hmm has freezer blackberries and rhubarb to pick so may try that

Put a floor in my "new" shed ( well new to me) and the rain made outside work hit and miss. Soil is cold so don't want to risk anything yet. Keeping the beds covered!

About 2/3 rhubarb to 1/3 blackberries. Just stick them both in the dish raw (sugar to taste) , add the crumble topping and then bake!

I will stop hijacking this thread now

Put weed suppressant fabric around the strawberries and then netted the bed. At least that's one job out of the way.

A bit off topic but ....
I always grow far too many plants of everything and wondered what Snoop meant when he referred to 'a good cause' 3 allotments? I would like to donate my excess to a worthy cause other than fellow plot holders.

500g onions planted, there were more in the bag than I expected as they were small. They filled one bed and edged around another one.

[Asherweef]

Dug the last of the bamboo up in the backyard (I think it would have been easier to sell the house & buy another) and dug a border in the front lawn. Also gave some feed to all the pots as It's been about 9 months… Whoops…


Now I need to wait for the girlfriend to come back so I can shove the 15 bags of turf in the boot.

Cleared the remainder of last years rubbish and then took a trip to the tip with this rubbish and the rubbish hubby had "made" at home getting rid of a bush in the front garden that we both hate!

Went to lottie #2 did some more tilling for the beetroot and parsnip bed,then sowed them 2 rows of peas,2 beetroot,3 parsnip and repotted some toms up

[jondav14]

Oh look, rain 

Spent an hour in the greenhouse, sowing seeds, potting on.  Too wet to be outside again 

[marcofez]

Sowed some 5 varieties of sweet peas and 5 varieties lettuce/leaf seed. Just a pinch!
