Today & dug. It was hard work, but I really enjoyed being out in the sunshine.

Sorry I meant to say I dug.

Had first proper long digging session of the year. Dug over most of main bed in t shirt in the end.
On main bed are just a few of the last sprouts left as dug up kale.
This is the first year that the plot is ready without any more grassy paths or carpet to dig up!
Very few weeds around too.
Great feeling looking at plot and not feeling overwhelmed.
Next visit is transplanting strawberries from home to plot.
Finish last bit of digging over soil.
Dig over where sweetcorn was.
Last clump of raspberries to move to my new fruit bed. It now has rhubarb,raspberries,strawberries and a donated gooseberry bush which unfortunately looks dead. 
Plan done now as to where everything will definitely go and feeling ready now for the growing year

A bit more digging here too
Old George ('I'm 90 you know') gave me some mahoosive parsnips, he sows his in Feb  but mine all got munched last year, I was planning to leave it until end March?

He also gave me his plot vegetable trimming knife, when I admired it; one of those honed old 'butter handle' bread knives ('I'm not going to be around much longer so I'm giving stuff away so my family don't have to do it') bless.  Made me well up it did.   I'll be a good home to it.  If only I could grow parsnips worth trimming

Burnt loads of rotten wood from the blown down fence.  I tried recycling it , but by the time I had, with great difficulty, extracted the rusty nails, I realised that even the good bits weren't good and splintered badly.  So to the bonfire it went. The best fire I have ever had, I could have cooked a dinner on it.

A big fat nuffink yet 

Ground has either been solid with ice or soggy.
Don't want to ruin my soil structure digging in wringing wet soil

Yesterday transplanted a load of broad beans and checked on strawb runners put in the other day. Thought that the frost on Tuesday night might have done some damage to the runners but they seem ok.
Had a little rummage in the ground where the rhubarb is to see if anything is happening as rhubarb is appearing on other plots. There is life so shouldn't be too long now ....
Had planned to make a start today on this years parsnip area but went to bed last night with a tickly throat and woken up with runny nose.  Will sort seeds out at home instead.

Replaced pane of glass for the greenhouse and swept it out to bring it back into use. Made some newspaper pots and sowed some kale and cabbage....

Trimmed blackthorn and bramble behind the green house to make it easier to replace the glass (so I didn't trip and end up having to go back for more glass....

Just as I thought .... Now got rotten cold good and proper.
Wrapped up warm and spent time today in the greenhouse sowing broad beans, Brussels, and sorting trays ready for when it all kicks off in March.
 

[teamspotty]

Spread rotted manure over the patch I've dug to clear the bags of horse poo littering the lotty. This leaves the rest of the huge bed ready for stripmining.

Cleared behind shed and trimmed hedge. Ready for extra carpet and then I can move the brick pile and finish the twerp (tame wildlife escape ruination and prevention) device aka fencing.

Was dog disabled today so more time spent making allotment tea for me and the dog than probably working, but hey ho, it was good news for the sciatica...

Paid rent .  Itching to get on plot, far too wet , boots clogged up in no time.   Did a 'mental' rough plan of what is going where, not enough space!  Home for mug of tea!

[Jackypam]

Looked at it for a while, very pretty in the wet spring snow. Pulled some left over carrots and a couple of leeks and came home.

[teamspotty]

Cut carpet for behind shed, moved brick and wood pile to behind the shed. The way is now clear for finishing the twerp (tame wildlife escape ruination and prevention) system aka fence. with only 4 panels to tie into the hedge.

Took delivery of some more carpet in the nick of time as I need some for pathways.

Dumped some bits in the compost on a flying visit and spent 5min revelling in the silence that forecasted rain brings
