Another Busy Sunday

Lots to do today so made a full day of it, took lunch and headed off to the allotment.  Simon had dug over the last quarter of plot 120 and we filled it today.  More brussel sprouts - Fillbasket variety, and Greyhound cabbages.  Couple of rows of Snowball turnips, Duchess parsnips and some more Swiss Chard, Bright Lights.



Just about run out of planting space now, still have to work out where I'm going to put the beetroot..... little bit of land left in front of the polytunnel perhaps.

Simon picked up five wooden planters off Freecycle during the week which we have put to good use, pansies in one, strawberries in another and two different types of carrots in two others.  One still empty and maybe for flowers.  Not sure yet.



Picked some rhubarb today to make some rhubarb wine as well, and also a few leeks to have with our tea, nice to be able to bring something home for a change instead of planting things!
