Need a reminder of the neglected field that was once my allotment??
The strawberry bed is a complete mess and also needs re-locating, I'm not sure if it is too late now this year. Advice on the timing would be welcome. |
Here is the first part I tackled, all the new potatoes are out of the ground and they were a truly bumper crop this year. In their place i have the garlic and onions to be planted. |
So as you can see I have made a bit of a start here...the potatoes came out the weeknd before last and then the ground was dug over and weeded in preparation for the roots on Sunday. However that's not all I have done this week....what I now have is beginning to really resemble my allotment again and is making me feel a lot better about the weather changing so quickly.
So you can see to the back here that I have weeded and winter dug the roots bed where the veggies have been harvested. I will be putting some broad beans in here and pulling the beetroot soon too, |

The brassica bed still needs a tidy up and I need to get the sweetcorn pulled up! |
And then of course there are still the old potatoes to be dug and the strawberries I mentioned earlier to be sorted. Oh and the raspberry canes need cutting back, the pond area sorting out...and...and...and.
Okay I'm stopping there before I burst the bubble I am in about how much I have got done this week. I think I have tackled the hardest areas first though so hopefully (fingers crossed) everything from here on out will be childs play!!
