Day 2 on Plot 119 - Strawberries!

Very busy day, into town for a couple of plastic chairs for plot 119 and some other sundries that we needed there, then went to get our seed potatoes - all maincrop as we have the earlies at home already.  Also picked up a reduced garden arch which we thought would be nice with some sweet peas growing up over it.  Finally got down to the allotment mid afternoon and had lunch there in the sunshine before getting to work!   Jobs for the day - I worked in the greenhouse, planting up my peppers and aubergine seedlings that I started at home.  Also took half my tomato plants down there to make some room on my windowsills at home.

Then Simon and I got digging, handy having a fork each now, makes the job a lot quicker.  Worked on the strawberry patch and the spud section today.  A lovely lady gave us lots of strawberry plants today and we got those in.  And also got two rows of broad beans (Bunyards Exhibition) in next to them.  Still room for a couple of rows of climbing beans before the spuds start.  Got 50 seed spuds, a mixture of Cara, King Edward and a Sarpo variety, hope we can fit them all in!  We used the Growveg calculator to work out the number we needed.... we shall see if it works!

So what else is left to do in terms of backbreaking labour?  Not much..... just THIS BIT!..........................
