Spent more time on the bottom allotment, put in some red baron onion sets and transferred the shallots to the same beds in the remaining space
and covered one of the beds with the glass panels in preparation for the early seed potato planting next month.
I tidied up most of the other beds and swapped the old plastic bin over the rhubarb for the larger ex-water butt. Fits much better
On the top allotment I've done a bit of a hatchet job on the fruit trees. Took some branches out of the centre of the plum and pear to open them up a bit and removed some crossing branches from the apple. I may have been a bit vicious - I'll have to wait and see if I get any fruit this year!
On a previous visit this month I finished getting rid of the excess strawberries. I gave some more to another 'menteer and replaced some of the old ones on the bottom allotment.
