Back to the Allotment
First time back after Christmas and I managed an hour before it started to rain! It had not really rained for a week, but the ground is still very heavy and wet. The forecast is for more heavy rain tonight. I hope that we start to get some drier weather soon.
Broad bean Aquadulce Claudia seeds have started to grow, there seem to be a few gaps, but I can fill those in later.
The celeriac is also growing, but slowly. I harvested a couple, which will be enough to make a decent amount of soup. I need to get them started earlier this year and make sure they are watered.
The pear and apple trees look OK, but there are some dead shoots on the pear that need to be trimmed. I moved the rubber holding tie as the trunk was rubbing on the support stake. Hopefully, this will help and as this is the third year they have been in the allotment fingers crossed for a better performance this year, otherwise, they may have to go!
I managed to do some digging, but the is still about a quarter to the allotment to go, which I must get done by the end of January.
