Sunday 07/02/10: Clearing up and more sowing.

Today I weeded (roughly as it was so wet), pruned back and cultivated the Asparagus bed and the Raspberry cane patch.

I also weeded the Jerusalem Artichoke bed, digging up another root for tea. Although, having just eaten them, I am now convinced I will dig up the whole lot and burn them, as they are not very nice to eat. I had never eaten them before, tried them a few months ago (and wasn't convinced) but am now sure the damned things are fit only for animal feed. Bleurgh!

I think the land they are in will be better off growing Loganberries.

All the old canes and stuff went into a proto-bonfire heap. I do like bonfires.

Seed wise I planted some Cauliflowers, Broccoli, Tomatoes, Leeks and Parsnips. Again, these are on Daniels windowsill.

The onions, Broad Beans and Chillis I planted previously have now started coming up. I shifted 10 Broad Bean plants out to the greenhouse, but they got a bit cold. I may have to fire up the heater.

We are apparently in for some more cold weather.

Seed Sowing Sunday 31/01/10

I planted some Lettuce Lolla Rossa and some Fenugreek (determined to grow this as it's a bugger to get hold of 'Methri' leaves for curries!!!). I am starting them in my new Electric Propogator.

Some of the Ailsa Craig Onions are up, but still waiting on the Broad Beans.

The plan is to get up the Allotment at the weekend to tidy up, weather permitting.
