Been a bit busy since my last post. Too much gardening, and especially weeding to do. The school had a plant sale to be prepared for. To add to the mix I was allocated a place "on the shelf" at our allotment site just as the growing season got into full swing. Happily there have been family events too. The shark is a visitor to Alnwick Castle Gardens - a great otherwise safe place to take grandchildren without foregoing horticulture! (Mind you they do have "The Poison Garden" behind a closed gate.)
Excuses aside, here is the current state of play at the plot:
Pride of place goes to the potatoes. Here's the maincrop
and here's the earlies:
The soft fruit has only recently been netted
This shot takes in the broad beans, cucurbits and bean wigwams. (There are two Shark's fin Melons amongst them!!)
And here is the reverse view of the broad beans with Jerusalem artichoke, rhubarb and peas in front
This picture shows the end of the spring cabbages with short rows of parsnip, celeriac and celery beyond
And on to the brassicas hiding under their protective netting.
and the alliums all grown from seed. (The bed to the left is going to be carrots now that the rain has finally arrived.)
Hope you enjoyed this brief tour.
