Earlies in..

Yesterday was my first proper day down at the allotment for a while. It was a lovely sunny spring day which helped a lot.

Got a lot done as well. Started with the new potatoes and got two rows in. Two more to go in today hopefully. Then the fruit area. Tidied it up a bit and also planted some raspberry canes, 2 new blackcurrant bushes and a new gooseberry bush. Hopefully going to get a lot of fruit this year.

My last job was to start getting the onions in. Did about 100 and still got another 100 or so to go. 

In terms of stuff already in, the rhubarb I planted from seed last year is looking good and the shallots have started sprouting. Harvested the leeks as well. Today need to make a load of leek and potato soup.
