11 March

2 trips this weekend, Friday put 20 First Early potatoes in raised bed no.7 in bottom allotment and covered with glass.
The broad beans look like they have taken ok.

Also put 3 rows of Early Nantes carrots in Bed no.8 and half a row of shallots and sowed two rows of parsnips on top allotment.

On Saturday in the greenhouse at home I gave it a good wash inside and out and potted on loads of peppers and sowed some organic cucumber, marigold, lobelia and some more sweet peas. The conservatory is quite full of seedlings now!

Sunday morning spent some more time on top allotment putting in a row and a half of onions seeds (first time I've tried seed!), a row of chioggia pink beetroot (loved this last year) and another row of carrots - half Yellowstone and half Early Nantes.
Put some sunflowers in on top allotment and in daughter's patch on bottom allotment.

Dug up 3 more parsnips - they're quite a good size now and got a bag of rocket leaves.
It was a lovely morning, a much better weekend than last Sunday's washout!

I really need to prunt the fruit trees but I hope it's not too late....
