we're alive!

Hello there!
glad that we seem to be lurching into life.

My wife and i have an allotment off Allesley old road which we just able to start doing this years work on.

I planted honey berry bushes at the end of last year but they didn't survive but i hope my goji berry lives!

So far ths year i've planted strawberry, aubergine and tomoato seeds at home but nothing in the allotment. I put my garlic in last year and that seems to be doing well. Pulled out the last of my sprouts (which were a huge growing success but not welcomed by the leg biters) and generally pruning raspberrys, gooseberrys etc.

after three years i fanally hope to bring my last bed online this year by planting some spuds. other than that i am aiming for more seetcorn, chard, onions and the usual roots and stuff.

i only have 3/4 of a half ploat, the rest being damson tees, but as I work away in London all week it all i can do to stay on top of it all.

Happy growing
Mark
