Dan took the first shift and planted two rows of hard neck garlic. We are hoping that we are still in time for it to develop bulbs. The weather has become quite warm and we know that it has to have colder spells for this to happen. We will wait and see.
I took the second shift of the day and made the most of the drier weather by just having a tidy round. I weeded some of the beds but the ground was very wet so no digging today. The allotment is a very peaceful place and we are looking forward to spending lots of time there this year.
The seeds are coming along and Jack's radish that he planted in his plot are emerging . He is very excited and can't wait to see what they will be like. He is looking forward to planting lots of other things as well .
We bought Jack two new tools today for his patch. He was very pleased. we loved the price as well. Two for £5. Good old Lidl.
The potatoes have started to chit so that's a great start. Sunday roasters here we come!!
Although the visits are quite short at the moment it is really nice to be spending time on plot 5. The fresh air really clears your head and the surroundings really make you feel good. The clocks changing this weekend will also mean that we will be able to go to the allotment in the evenings. This will be especially nice for Dan after working all day in the office. I'm sure that there will be a few nights spent their till dusk.
