Earthed up the spuds and fed and watered.
Dug a two foot bed ready for shed footings
Planted the dreaded BB plants (see GYO!)

Ate Greggs sausage rolls (YUM!!) while watching our friendly Robins eat the worms I had unearthed.  Got some piccies too

finished planted the spuds.

continued my - see a dandelion dig it now approach to the uncultivated part of our allotment (most of it).

Dug up the weedy looking leeks left by previous owner because they had dandelions growing up between them.

Took a photo of the brownbird who shares our allotment - her partner the blackbird seems to have had a day off.

Earthed up the spuds again.... thanks Fox for giving me that job!   

Set up the bath in its new position and filled it now that water is back on for the season.
Watered raspberries, beetroot, strawberries and spinach.

Hoe, hoe hoed....... those little weed seeds seem to be coping with one of the driest Marchs on record.

Some of my spuds are coming through so earthed up. Weeded between the onions. Dug out a blackcurrant cane in an area that has had problems with them growing dug down further and noticed a half slab I probably dumped ther years ago so dug it out the soil was clear after that so replanted and watered and watered some more fingers crossed it starts to take.

Covered the carrot seeds with some polythene we salvaged from packaging on our new two seater. The carrot seeds I planted in the raised bed as they have been in for a while now but where showing no sign of shooting probably due to not having enough sun however the leeks I planted with some polythene cover next to them are coming through so I am just experimenting now with the carrots as there is no where else to plant these.

Forked the main growing area ready for the root veg to go in next month? is that right?

Continued digging over the uncultivated area of the allotment.

water veg patch in back and front gardens. put some peas to pre- germinate.

[arugula]

Had to erect a Collie fence around the potato patch this morning. The little darling was caught clod-hopping, whilst hunting, all over the not-yet-through-the-surface potatoes yesterday!   Bamboo canes with tied twine, fingers crossed a small physical barrier will be enough.

[peapod]

I thought Id heard about every protective fence on a lotty, but never a Collie one 

[arugula]

Well there you go, that's my girl!

[MJS]

I like the mini greenhouse too.

Today my hubby made two brassica beds, also out of freebie wood and some plastic he got from work. Some sort of packing for items, it was going to be thrown away! We joined two together and made a bed out each one.





Took another water butt up there and laid it on a pallett.

Dug and raked the new beds and put weed membrane down till the plants are ready to go in.
Dug in some compost as we didn't have the plot last year, so didn't get the chance to dig in any manure.

Weeded and weeded.

Watered the potato and shallot beds.

Saw TWO potato plants peeping through the soil.

Made a sign with our plot number and name on and tacked it to the shed. (Everyone does this on our site).

Had lunch and a cuppa.

[teasmade!]

worked really hard on a very small part of the lotty ( for my strawberries ) and i can feel every muscle and bone in my body!! soooooo many weeds!!!!

but what i have done today i dont have to do tommorow

Really enjoyed being outdoors along with hubby (who also can feel every move he makes!! ) only another 6 beds to go !!

plot hasn't been touched in 30 years, so there are a few weeds but we are so lucky to have it so not moaning

sowed beetroot, radish, checked potatoes and they are actually growing, onions doing their own thing but they seem happy enough, put grow bags in poly and had plenty of tea!!

love all the pics, well done on that saved packaging looks really good

P.S can do most things but computers not so good so sorry if this is in the wrong place or anything else
