The beds are nearly all dug. We had a productive weekend. Mr C took on ( well created!) the bed next to the pond which I had already decided was too challenging given it had a bramble in the middle of it. He took drastic and hopefully satisfactory action and chopped it off ( bet it grows back!!)
I planted my onion sets which arrived last week. They are really teeny tiny compared to the ones I had last year but at least they are organic and there are loads of them. Probably have to do successional sowings if I have enough space. I seem to be filling the plot up pretty rapidly. Took the maincrop pots and put then in the shed to acclimatise they look ready to plant but think I would really be pushing my luck - I bet as soon as they go in we'll have a frost!
Mr C planted some spring onions last week that had been in a seed tray in our cold frame at home since last summer! They died off and came back again a few weeks ago so we will see if they mature at the allotment.
Bought lots of edging rolls and weed control fabric to construct a play area for the babe. Then the sand pit can be installed and a swing. But I think the swing will be great for me to relax on between digging, hoeing and sowing.
