Garden report


It has been a while since I posted on the state of the allotment so here are a few photos.

If you know what to look for you can see overwintering broad beans, garlic and onions; recently divided globe artichokes towards the far end, asparagus sown from seed last year emerging from winter slumber; the remainder of last year's leeks. Strawberry plants planted last year have been putting on some growth and are in flower.

You won't see, even though they are there, recently planted seed potatoes (5 different sorts) and Jerusalem artichokes; freshly sown carrots, beetroot, leeks, salads, fennel, turnips.

Seedling selection

Elsewhere,  in our sunspace at home, indoor-sown seeds have already germinated and are growing happily.

Now all we need is a little regular rain.
