We spent three hours on the allotment this morning. I planted 6 iceberg lettuces in the greenhouse, cleared a fence and weeded a new patch to get two more rows of potatoes in and also some more onions that were ready into the raised beds. Cheryl did some more work in the strawberry patch clearing more weeds.

Here are some pictures of the progress

Shallots in the greenhouse waiting to go into the raised beds

Parsnips and brocoli waiting to go into the raised beds Cucumber, not looking all that healthy but the same thing happened last year so we will see what happens…

Tomatos looking very strong and healthy

I planted 6 iceburg lettuce plants in the greenhouse, hopefully they will come and be harvested before the tomatos get too big

I had an impulse buy at Homebase this week, I got some Celery, I have never grown it so will be doing some research.  Raspberries starting to bud Leaves are coming out on the apple tree Gooseberries starting to develop Blackberry we planted last weekend is growing well and will need tying to the wires agian very soon Blackcurrents developing Pear blossom has now gone, blown away by the wind, but hopefully we might see some pears starting to develop The two fruit trees, apple and pear Two new rows of potatoes Onions and Shallots in the raised bed, I put some more onions in today. Carrots are starting to come through, not sure which are weeks and which are carrots yet so will let them develop a little before weeding,  Onions in the raised beds, the ones I planted first some 4 weeks ago are looking very strong.
