Had a lovely day on the plot on Sunday, the sunshine bought a lot of people out and the site was really busy working there bit. The birds seem to be getting through a lot of seed and nuts at the moment and seems that there are a lot of them pairing up so hope fully the nest box will be well used this year.
The bluebells are getting bigger and look like that they will soon be in bloom.
Have decided to let the grass grow round the pond and keep the fruit bushes clear there should be a lot of flowers growing round the pond soon.
We have sown some lettuce, radish, spring onions and baby beetroot in our cloche. Have also put in onions,shallots and broad beans next week hope to get carrots and potatoes in. We really love beetroot so hope to have loads in this year, have bought four different varieties.
When we first got the plot we had to cut a small tree down to put up the shed and we used the cut trunk to put our plot number on it but have to re-write the number each year as it fades.We have now been given a posh one with our names on, the old roller we found hidden among the brambles when we cleared the plot, the wagon wheel we bought from a junk shop.
