Muddy but happy

 Back at the allotment today for a bit more tidying and digging.  A lovely afternoon, cold and a bit breezy but bright sunshine so that was nice.  My 2 big boys enjoyed getting muddy - the grass down by the shed looks more like glastonbury at the moment!

Finished doing some digging around the Purple Sprouting Broccoli - waiting for it to sprout at the moment - hopefully it will as it looks good.  Also began to sort out the stawberries ready for a move to a new home.

All in all things are looking good at the moment - hoping for another good season.  Still eating the potato's and cabbages from last year (1 cabbage left) and hopefully tonight will sit down and plan what seeds etc we need. 

The start of a new year

It being Feb half-term, it has given me a little time to get a few things done at the Allotment ready for the 'new' planting year.   The whole family had a trip down today to do some tidying and some weeding / digging.  the beds are getting there now.  The bottom corner is like a rice paddy at the moment, but at least we have a shed we can shelter in. 

Have begun to plan for planting.  Need to sit down and go through all my seeds to see what I have and what we need to buy.  Have got potato's chitting - trying some new ones this year so that hopefully will be good.  I will also endeavour to keep this blog up to date - last year started of well but then faded a little around May time.  Must do better.
