Nice to see familar people are still posting and this thread is still going strong. Just debating whether to go to plot. We were given 2 extra days leave due to COVID I'm taking one today. I'm not as near to the allotment due to moving house. 🙂
Decided as I need the room inside planted the potatoes, after giving the bed a dig over. Also have potato bags of new potatoes planted. Now will have room to do the flower seeds I have planned.
Yesterday I sowed a tray of leeks, some chard, spinach, wild rocket. In the beds I sowed a row of radish and land cress. The beds have warmed well under old double glazed units
The potatoes get their cover back on @Allotment Boy at this time of year, and it only gets removed when I see shoots coming up. As you say it's too cold for the soil to be uncovered. 🙂
At last I have planted the new Raspberry canes, I did tell one of my fellow plotholders, that you are supposed to wait 2 weeks, to allow the soil to settle when you make a new bed. That's my excuse & I'm sticking to it. 😄
