Week 3

On Tuesday we planted our rhubarb,




















and more raspberries.




















We also got a table and chairs from my dad.





















And a new bbq (we had 2 bbqs this week).




















On wednesday night we planted 2 rows of garlic in bed 3 (big square bed).
Today (Sunday) we planted carrots, onions, red onions, radish, beetroot and scallions in bed 3.













 and spinach and lettuce in the double-dug rectangle bed.

Overall we're really pleased with the allotment. It's been great having friends round for a bbq and getting things planted. Today we also met one of our neighbours, so we're feeling very welcome there, which is great.

Our plans for this week are: Dig over another bed, plant peas and beans (once we get some more compost), get and plant strawberries and curly kale. Once the next bed is dug over it'll be for the potatoes.
The tomatoes on our windowsill have sprouted well but won't be planted in grow-bags for another week or two.

Rachael.
