Spring into action

Sunday morning brought us some lovely sunshine so we packed up our things and walked to plot number 5.



Dan loaded up the wheelbarrow with some good old organic Devon fertiliser, otherwise known as cow manure. Our local farmer kindly dumps a massive tractor load over the fence at the end of our allotments for us to use. We all pay £10  a year to the farmer  which he then donates to the Devon air ambulance. We always have an unlimited supply. 




Our local farm shop gave us these fruit crates. Dan has put them up in our shed. Think they make great storage, and the best thing is they are being recycled!!!


Our seedlings have started to grow and are enjoying a lovely view at the same time.




Our onions that we planted are established now and doing well. we weeded between them and they look a lot happier.



Our rhubarb is growing well and we are going to cover it up next week.


Our bushes that we pruned are now showing signs of new growth.




What a lovely way to finish off the morning. Saw these lovely little ladies on the way home.

  1. Your allotment is looking good and I love the wooden boxes....I actually saw boxes like this in a posh restaurant a few weeks ago (not that I was in the restaurant lol, I was outside).....so this means you also have a 'posh' shed too
