My fing sunny day


Lovely sunny day, as it has been for several days. Had to get the spuds in, so went down Sunday morning and finished digging the spud bed. Put in 3 rows each (6 per row) of Ratte and Bintje. I forgot the Vale Emerald, so they'll go in in a couple of days.

The broad beans are well through now and the alliums seems to be getting going now. I have sown salad, carrots, beetroot, hamburg parsley and peas, but they are not showing yet.

The apple tree in in full blossom, the plums have finished. The gooseberry bushes look well, they have more tiny fruits on them than last year, hope for a good crop.

I was offered an old greenhouse, that another plot-holder received on free-cycle, but had second thoughts on a reassembly without instructions etc. Got it up in a few )hot) hours. Hopefully it will not blow away and will allow me to grow some tomato, pepper and aubergines, and if needed a little shelter if it rains.
