26 February

Biked up to allotment at 08:00 - no-one there!
Concentrated on the bottom allotment this morning.
Chopped down the hungarian grazing rye and dug it in on the bed for the broad and french/dwarf beans (third bed back in photo), also weeded the carrot bed (front bed). The broad beans will be going in next weekend as there are quite tall now:

Weeded the sweetcorn and butternut squash bed (front bed) and the onion bed (rear):


Then I spent a bit of time weeding my daughter's area - quite a few docks starting here and the roots from the raspberries where everywhere! The glass has warmed up the soil nicely for the first early potatoes which will be going in next weekend.


Couldn't leave without a bag of salad for my sandwiches, mainly rocket, lambs lettuce and a few other leaves which had been protected from the frost.

A good couple of hours work!

Back home, I potted on the cabbages and some of the bell peppers and moved the sprouted peas and mangetout to the greenhouse. The rest of the peppers need potting too - time....
