Took our first walk over to the allotment since November. It's all mostly still covered and fairly untidy, but plans are germinating (if not seeds at the moment). We have a fruit cage to put up this year and I'm considering getting a small, cheap poly tunnel for part of the plot to grow the stuff that doesn't like growing in my fairly shady GH at home (possibly due to my poor watering etiquette...). Our daffodils are popping up green sprouts, the early rhubarb is well underway with new growth, and the broad beans are trying though being foiled by slugs. My husband mentioned sowing tomatoes soon (!!! he normally lightly complains about my tomato jungle in the house in early spring...) so overall it's starting to feel like time to grow something
