Vinny's Allotment Plot

Called at the plot as I do most Saturday morning after excercising. I was just going to have a neb and see if any onion sets had been pulled out by the birds?......they hadn't. While I was there I thought I may as well do summat? I have a bed of Mooli which I sowed a bit late last year. It has survived the winter but will probably just run to seed now? In case it doesn't, i hand weeded all the groundsel which had grown among the rows. Groundsel is just on the point of flowering so hopefully I have saved  myseldf some work? ( One years seeding, seven years weeding and all that?)

I sowed loads of flower seeds last year but the labels have disintegrated and some of them must have been either biennials or perrenials as they have ccome back again! I have loads more to sow this year so will make a start on that on my next visit.

All my elephant garlic from the early planting is up now and looking good. I have spinach and beetroot which has overwinterd and not gone to seed yet so I need to harvest them soon. Out of three rows of broad beans I have only got four broad bean plants which are flowering now!
