Marching through March and Awesome April

Hello again all!

Once again I have neglected my posts!  I am sorry.  I am going to try and making this a Sunday Morning ritual, to keep up to date!

We have been busy bees on the allotment over the past 2 months.  The greenhouse is up, with a half plastic roof created by my father due to the glass not fitting correctly. We constructed it in some poor weather, but we enjoyed sausage sandwiches on our break.  Every good allotment needs a stove of some sort. We have been growing seedlings in the greenhouse since it was completed. 

In the greenhouse we have been growing the following:
Peppers, red, yellow, green.
Cucumber
Tomatoes
Courgette,yellow and green
Radish
Broad beans
Runner beans
Leeks
Onions
Spring Onions
Peas
Sweet peas
Flowers

We have planted out 6 redcurrent bushes
5 more blueberry bushes
2 dahlia
Betroot in lines
Potatoes
Sunflowers
Carrot
Spinach
Lettuce
Radish
Rhubarb
Rosemary

Everything we grew from seed in the greenhouse is slowly making its way into the ground.  Broad beans and peas are out along with the sweet peas.  Unfortunately, some very late frosts have damaged a couple of our sweet pea plants, so these will have to be replaced.  All the allotments are slowly coming to life and you can tell that spring is here.  Birds are in abundance, bees are on the move and sunshine is more prominent.

I will continue to keep you posted on the happenings on plots 14 and 15 and you can also follow me on Instagram : allotment14and15

Happy planting!
