I have been getting to plots on alternate days for a while now. Finally finished the marathon , bindweed dig. The space now has spuds, onions, and a little salad at the front. I managed to finish the annual brassica cage move, and get some cabbage in the ground. I am taking the easy option this year and buying in plants so I have a clubroot resistant collection on order from one of the seed catalogues. That will give me broccoli, cauliflower, and sprouts. I will add some kale and red cabbage raised from seed later in the year when there is less pressure on the greenhouse to start them off.
Hello all Missed you all have read a few posts, went to the allotment got a few plants as they had a plant sale - cauliflower seedlings - so dug over a bit of a bed and planted them out.
Got a few daffs in flower look really nice few veg and a few flower plants for not too much money and help out allotment.
New neighbours both sides of my plot - one of them did get a digger bash all away and flatten it out Still lots to do on my plot, got to see a butterfly today red admiral butterfly about
Well it may not be as new, clean or tidy as @Sheps greenhouse 😆 , but after two days it is done! Now to keep it going after this strange spell of weather! I do have spares in the conservatory, in case of casualties, but I think the night temperatures will be ok now. 🤞
I have now planted the French beans and lettuce, the latter netted to stop the pigeons! The summer Raspberries are in flower, and there is a mass of strawberry flowers too, I'm not sure if they are earlier than usual but the number of flowers open seem more. The cucumbers have been in the greenhouse half a week and have doubled in size, they are even in flower. Everything seems in a rush!

Without side staging you have so much more room for planting.
I'll guess a size of 12 x 8
