Down to the plots to do some more digging today. Weather was on our side too which makes a change. Finished the onion bed on Plot 120 and put in 100 more white onions. 50 Stuttgarter and 50 Hercules, the more onions the better as we got through loads last year. Made a start on the next bed too and put in a couple of handfuls broadbeans that I had left over from sowing in root trainers at home. Mixture of Suttons and Dreadnought. The first shoots are appearing on the ones at home so as soon as they are a decent size they will be taken down the allotment.
Met some new neighbours that have just taken the plot across from us, nice to meet some new faces! Hopefully they will enjoy the site as much as we do, it certainly is a nice atmosphere down there.
Simon picked the first of this years rhubarb today, very tender and sweet and enough to make two rhubarb crumbles, one for us and one for his parents as an alternative Easter present!
Wow, rhubarb already, Taunton might as well be in a different country to Norfolk - our rhubarb is just poking its nose out of the freezing soil. Mmm, rhubarb, you lucky blighters!
ReplyDeleteWow that rhubarb!
ReplyDeleteThe good lady wife (Jane) made a great Crumble with it :)
