Spinach today!

My perpetual spinach has poked its head above the soil just in time for a good downpour!

The pic is gooseberry vodka in the making. I've added more vodka since the pic was taken!

Drew (pictured) and myself sampling the first bottle of turbo cider. The concensus of opinion is damned strong!

Planted just nine days ago, the very first of my seeds to germinate; pak choi¬

Space for a shed!

Three quarters of the plot is now planted!
Experimenting with Spanish garlic cloves tonight, couldn't get any seeds!
The ground is very dry, watered twice today, but it quickly soaks it up!

A few additions to the herb patch, took my comfrey plant to the allotment and some flat leafed parsley (son of morris culinary variety!)
My little red rose bush is still thriving!
Hilled my potatoes today, after only a week in the ground, and planted some bell peppers.

Tonight's view.


Finished watering at 7pm. Still an on-going battle with thistles and dandelions, but it's heading towards 'Cookit'!

Beaten it!

It's taken just over a week to remove all the jungle off the plot, and I'm pleased to say it all fitted in the composter. About a third is already planted and some more will go in this week.

Side Tracked!

Done a bit of work on the plot, but got sidtracked by a classic car and bike show!
