The return...

After a lovely Easter break in Scotland, we had a few more days off to get on with some allotment work.

Wednesday was spent at home; installing our new water butt, adding to the salad patch and planting more things in pots in the shed.

We erected the other half of the polytunnel in the back garden and planted a row each of Land Cress, Little Gems, Rocket, Spring Onions and Golden Beetroot. We mad a rather smart path between the two beds out of part of a old pallet.

On the planting side we put 8 more sweetcorn in loo rolls, two of the squashes that Bernard gave Ben for his birthday, more french beans, and a big pot of parsley and coriander.

The tomato and basil that we'd put in pots in the airing cupboard before we went away had gone a bit crazy - germination was very successful, but the time spent in the dark was far too long so they had all become ridiculously leggy. At least we know it works to get things started though.

No photos for a while unfortunately - the camera is in for repairs...
