Hurrah, we take over the tenancy of the allotment on April 1. The boys and I went out to Wilkos and bought a load of onion sets, seed potatoes and seeds. The potatoes are starting to sprout now. Typical last year they did nothing for ages but now I want them to hold back until we get the allotment ....Carrots seem to be very popular, however I have never had much luck on our heavy clay soil. The resulting carrots have always been some what embarrassing. I sowed some Orange Berry and Sanmarino tomatoes which are now toasting in the propogator in a bedromm. The kitchen windowsill is full of begonia corms. I can't wait to grow some new exciting plants that I haven't had the space for like asparagus and artichokes. I wonder if the allotment is as snail invested as my garden. Mind you at least the chickens won't be able to destroy the plants.
