A wet weekend here, heavy showers at times but still managed to get up to the allotment for a short time to see if anything is happening. Was deserted except for a couple of other hardy individuals who were taking also taking advantage of a lull in the weather. I planted the broad bean seedlings I had brought on at home, Suttons. The ones I had planted directly in the ground are yet to emerge. Simon planted a gooseberry bush we bought yesterday, a Hinnonmaki Red, and also one we dug up from our garden at home as it wasnt doing very well and thought a new site may give it a boost. Now follows a boring picture of lots of earth with some broad beans poking through..........
What else? Sowed some grass seed on some of the paths just to brighten them up a bit. Then rain stopped play and went home to spend some time with eldest daughter on Mothers Day. Got her helping me with the parsnips..... had started chitting them 2 weeks ago and felt some of them were ready to pot on today. I had previously planted 30 or so modules and only 2 have come up. By chitting the next lot of seeds I am hoping for a much higher success rate! So about 40 or so more planted up today and still more in the 'chitterbox'!
