The potatoes under the double fleece did alright, the others less so, but they’re already launching a comeback #allotment

This week I’ve been popping to the allotment for half an hour or so before work to try to keep up with the sheer quantity of stuff that needs planting out now. Savoy cabbage, kale, chard and celeriac are now in. Tomatoes will go out this weekend - should be warm enough for them!

There’s a chance of frost here tomorrow night and the potatoes are beyond banking up any further, so the fleece is out. They recover from a light frosting but that set them back last year and these are more exposed #allotment

The #allotment is doing its thing 😀

The potatoes are through, and the new asparagus is putting up little fronds.

That should be happy asparagus - plenty of groworganic manure, some chicken manure pellets on top, and a nice blanket of mulch. I sowed all the cucurbits too, and the sweetcorn. #allotment

Went to the #allotment site earlier so I could secure my greenhouse windows with the winds picking up. Took the opportunity to walk around the site to see other people's spring plots. This is one of the lanes. Helebores, forget-me-nots, stocks, primulas, heucheras and other pretty plants beside the hedgerows :) #bloomscrolling

I actually planted my potatoes on Good Friday this year. One of my potatoes was really a stone. Make of that what you will. #allotment
