Vinny's Allotment Plot

Couple of pleasant hours at the plot this morning even though the weather was freezing.

Hand weeded another bed and planted it up with strawberriea. It had elephat garlic in util recently so didn't want to put alliums in it.

Took the covers of  a larger bed which I had a good crop of onions from. Hand weeded and looosened the surface. Planted it up with a load of Durham Early deedlings I had sown  a pot  earlier in the year. I had loads of seedling so planted them reasonably close together so that every other one can be used for spring greens allowing the others to heart up. Once planted and watered in I covered them with glass until they are estblished then I may take off the glass and coverwith debri netting.
Watered the toms in greenhouse and tied in a grapevine, now that it has made its way indoors.Hoed off some of the paths which were looking tatty and left the weeds on the surface.
The only things left toplant up for this season are more strawberries, more Japanese onions, more spring cabbage and some normal garlic.The elephant garlic I planted isn'r showing through yeat but I am pleased with the Jaanese onion growth and the other bed of strawberries appear to be established.

I still have spuds to lift, loads of leeks,kale, swedes,mooli and one pumpkin to bring home at some time for the grandkids!
