We’ve been doing a bit of infrastructure work on the new allotment plot over the winter. You may remember that it was a bare canvas last summer.

There is now a sturdy fence to keep the rabbits out, a support frame for our autumn (primocane for the pursists) raspberries and we’ve constructed a new (and larger) greenhouse on this plot.

By mid-May the sweet pea cordons were up, the raspberries and potatoes were starting to show and the fruit trees were coming into leaf.  Of course the weeds were also starting to make their presence felt.
