I usually put my garlic and broad beans in back end but last year everything was so up in the air and rushed I didn't get chance so fingers crossed for a decent crop.
Got quite a bit of weeding and digging done over the last couple of weeks too. Just an hour here and there every now and again so as not to get daunted with it but it's amazing how much I can accomplish doing it this way without getting overwhelmed by it all.
So not much happening but I am feeling positive that things will be going in on time and I have some theories about making my work load on the allotment a little lighter this year.

Hope you all had a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteI have thought about it Sue...but it's such a large expanse to cover and besides which (dare I say it??) I find weeding quite therapeutic in the summer months!!
DeleteHappy spring! It is that time of year again where we get out and play in the dirt.

No one is ever too old to play in the dirt Velva!
DeleteThanks, Tanya. Have a good week yourself. That's a large plot and you're doing well with the weeding, digging etc. and the planting out.
ReplyDeleteI never really think of the size Linda although I think I am lucky really that it is split into two separate halves as it never seems quite so daunting to focus on one half at a time.
DeleteI think little and often is definitely the best way. I've started plenty of seeds off but haven't got anything in the ground yet. I'm hoping to get the onions and shallots planted out this coming weekend.
ReplyDeleteI have only started my pepper seeds off in the greenhouse...but then again for such a long time I couldn't get in there. I'm not sure which others I will start off this year...I am going to try and cut the work down by direct sowing more.
