Saturday sawme back atthe allotment again. The main reason for going was totake the glass off my spring cabbage andto cover it with blue debri netting instead.The cabbage was touching the glass and getting scorched and the addition of debri netting will stop the pigeon fraternity from having a feed and also allow the spring rains to get to the plants.. Aftr removng glass I ws surprised athow much weed growth was around cabbagessohad tospend some time hand weeding.The lump of debri netting is about at the end of its useful life so had to jiggle it around a bit to so that the rotten large holed area wasatthe sides.
I was surprised that the onion sets I had stuck in then covered with glass at my last visit were now touching the glass so I removed glass and replaced a few sets that had popped out.
The Elephant garlic is doing what it does best and is looking healthy asare the strawberry plants I planted in the Autumn.
WhileI was there Itied up a wayward blackcurrant bush and dug over and raked one of my long beds. I still have onion sets to go in buthad onions in this bed last year sowwillhave to think of summat lde to sow/plant in this bed.
The broad beans that were orignally under glass are flowering now.
