Spring is upon us at last, but the work is piling up and I was very busy over the last few days.

• Weeding mostly as the weeds are growing very fast again.

• I planted my first early potatoes, including some Pink Fir apple that a friend gave to me.
• I put some more Broad beans in, another friend Barry gave me from some seed that he had saved from the year before.
• I removed some of the Winter Brassicas and put the on the compost heap.
• I then replanted some self seeded Spinach that I had allowed to grow, by leaving one plant in the bed and allowing it to go to seed. I gave the balance of the young plants away to a new Allotment holder who was very glad of them.
