Allotment, Weeding and feeding














I had a busy day today,
  1. I laid out and set the first early potatoes in a tray to chit. I will set the later varieties out next week.
  2. I fed the fruit bushes with some fish/blood/ bone fertiliser that I had not used for about 5 years.
  3. I removed and used a couple of the last celeriac roots. I composted the rest.
  4. The weeds are growing fast and I hoed around the fruit bushes as I was feeding them.
Jobs to do.
  • Fill in the gaps on the Broad bean bed as I have lost a few plants over the Winter to the bad weather.
  • Take out the last of the finished cabbages and brassicas, unfortunately some of the cabbages bolted very quickly and are now only good for compost.
  • Plant onion sets.
  • Dig a bean trench.
A very cold overcast day. OK for working, but plenty of layers of clothes were needed.
