@[email protected] Yes, I’m wondering where I’m going to squeeze in the cucumbers and squashes. The spacing hasn’t quite worked out as usual. I blame the extra row of potatoes.

There’s definitely something odd going on with the tomatoes this year. All mine are minuscule, but my neighbour gave me six of his greenhouse grown ones in exchange for some Brussels sprouts.

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.

@sjaakkeuvelaar Aw, that’s a long wait but it’ll be worth it.
