2011 - January nearly over

Went up to allotment yesterday and did some more weeding. I'm a bit behind my schedule this year but plenty of time still to catch up and get everything prepared (I hope).

The autumn raspberries have spread everywhere so stated to get rid of some (donated to new allotment holder, gave him some strawberries too) and found my eldest daughter's parrot tulips. I've moved them nearer the front of the plot and split the bulbs where they were big enough - hoping for a nice display this year!

I want to get some carrots in soon under glass - this worked quite well last year. I've got some 4 foot square old aluminium framed windows which are just the right width for my raised beds. They even have small window openings for ventilation if needed!
