Hello again from the Lottie of Badrill118,
Things here have go a little out of hand recently with the weather and other things so the weeds have grown better than the crops. Anyway here are my mom and friend sproggie helping with the weeding. This is me again doing as little as poss in the heat as I had to go to work about 1/2 hour after this. really could have done with more time at the lottie.
We have a lot of rouge spuds coming up all over the allotment and hope we will get some nice FREE spuds from them before we go away in the summer. This year we will really dig them out up to 3 foot deep is we have to.
As you can see the lottie was covered in weeds until the sproggie team got involved and they were mainly poppy seeds. Under them were my peas, carrots and beetroot. They all seem to have thrived having some shade but not all the peas have come up so I am going to have to plant some more. The spuds are doing well, but the tomatoes have all died off and so I have to but some more to replace them.
The onions, garlic and shallots are doing very nicely and i hope to using some of them soon. The flowers are doing very well, Anenomes are very happy and the Sweet William is a wash of colour. The Freesias have yet to come out. We will hve to wait and see what happens to them.
Speak to you agian, Weather and work permitting.
Yours Badrill118
