Started seed sowing yesterday. Am trialing some of those little grow pockets. They don't swell up as big as I thought they would and I was expecting them to expand.
Been to Robinson's today the mammoth onion growers. Their onions are a tab bit expensive so bought some more chilli, pepper and aurbergine seeds. Was going to grow these with cues in the allotment GH, it's currently glassless though so that's a job to do. The varieties are tall plants so I'm hopnig for a big crop and a lush GH come July
Despite the forecast for rain all day, all we've had us a bit of drizzle, and now the sun is out, but I am having a well earned day off allotments today
Hi all. Spent all day yesterday with Hubby setting up the new poly tunnel, had to level the ground as its slopes. Put a raised bed in one corner, will put the rest of what I grow in pots and on the opposite side will make some racks out of my old walk in greenhouse for seed trays. Came home tired but happy hot bath and a large glass of Merlot !!!
Zoomer, I bought some seeds on line from Robinsons, lucky you to live nearby. I bought American tree spinach and Red Orache, quite unusual but tasted good, hoping they have self seeded for this year.
Mr Stagbeetle is having a minor op today so he won't be at the allotment, so will leave the kids with him whilst I pop down there.
growing toms, sunflowers, sweet peas, cowslip, verbena bonariensis, rudbeckia, small pumpkins, chitting early and main crop potatoes so far. Also bought a cheap 4 tier cold frame from wilko's.

Fruitcake were you tempted by anything else in Lidl ?
Zoomer good you got a greenhouse sounds like it will be full in summer
Victoria what fruit trees do you have?
The muck I got will be put on my raised beds soon it does not smell really now so think it is ready
The bakery...
Only a new pair of secateurs and a new trowel, tool wise I have one of each at each plot plus what's in my garden shed.
The bakery did smell good, hand tools are good to have
