Busy time of year, been sowing seeds and potting up. Runner and french beans have germinated in the GH. Was going to sow another batch of broad beans were they will grow.
A lot done up allotment today sawing up posts of fence pallet panels, went to the tip clearing bits GWRS when did you put your potatoes in? I have one of those paper pot making things not used it for a while should use it again, same ish as loo roll just not as tall think dries out a bit quicker than plastic pots- is a good use of recycling of paper

I've started to get a new magazine, received some free seeds with the first edition, the kale looks interesting it's a scarlet/purple colour. Does anyone else get a regular magazine...
I've sown courgettes and pumpkin in the propagator, might have sown them too soon as I don't have much room indoors to keep them until last frost. Also sown mini pop in the GH.
Is anyone growing asparagus, not a sign of mine yet, this is the first year to pick so looking forward to picking it.
Cherry and pear tree's are beginning to flower, last year they were caught with a late frost and did not produce one cherry or pear
Hi all got my first allotment this year in January doing really well clearing beds etc. I have planted lots of seeds and despite a few issues with damping off have done well with most but exception is beetroot which will not germinate. Any tips??
