Sow it begins !!!

The 1st of March brought a beautiful sunny morning with it. We decided to take advantage of the sunshine and ventured off to plot no5.

The first job was to uncover all the ground that we had covered last year with weed suppressant. This had certainly done its job of helping keeping the weeds at bay.

We had a bit of a general tidy round. We cleared the brambles, dug an edge of our bed  and Jack planted some radishes in his plot. Dan has planted some sweet peppers and spinach seeds in pots and put them in the shed under the window. Hopefully they will be nice and warm in there and start to grow soon.

We found this lonely daffodil which had survived the winter. This is how it looked.

After a week of being away from the allotment we went back up to plot 5 and what a difference a Week makes. This is our lovely daffodil now.

We cleared out the cold frame which was full of rubbish that had been left. Its very fragile and we did have a breakage but nothing that Dan can't mend. We have positioned it next to the shed and it is ready to use. We uncovered our onions which have been all snuggly and warm all winter. They seem to have done well and hopefully will now continue to grow.

We are really looking forward to the year ahead to see what will grow and what may not. We can't wait to try our home grown veg.

I think  a trip to the recycling centre is needed tomorrow to recycle all the rubbish.
