Allotment Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd February
We had a really very good, and satisfactory year, last year. We had a surplus of tomatoes and soft fruit, and an abundance of potatoes that we are still using from the store in the shed. Margaret made lots of tomato pickle and soup and we were very contented with the crops.
Tuesday
This is the first day I have had a chance to get some work done, after all the snow we have had recently. I spent about one and a half hours tidying up and pulling out some of the weeds that have just started growing again. I managed to sow some very early "Nantes" carrots in a large container, where they will remain until they are edible. I covered the whole thing with fleece to prevent frost damage.

Wednesday
Today I planted some onion sets, in an onion bed that I established last November, by planting some Japanese over winter onion sets that have been coming along nicely ever since.
I also dug in some beautiful compost from the compost bin That has been rotting down over the whole year and should kick start the plants that I grow here in this bed.
