Both updates and efforts in the allotment have been limited by the weather. With few opportunities to get into the plot for any extended periods and cold wet weather inhibiting growth we haven’t had much to say. However, a bit of early morning sunshine appeared during a morning visit to water the greenhouse, so we were able to get some updated shots, which show that things are continuing to grow, albeit slowly. The vegetative growth is OK, but we really need some sun and warmth to get the fruiting crops to start to set properly.

Overall the plot is looking pretty tidy and we are hopeful of some good harvests this year.

We did manage a dinner of entirely home grown produce tonight. New potatoes in garlic butter and a salad of beans, peas, beetroot, spring onions and Lollo Rosso leaves.
