Well, we are trying to get together a list of which seeds we want to buy, which we already have, where we need to buy them from (Allotment shop, or seed catalogue !). Nearly sorted now as Dave's dad managed to get 10 free seeds packs from The Daily Telegraph for £1.99, so we have sent off for those, there were 3 herb packets in there which will be nice.
Henry and I walked down to the allotment this afternoon, the weather was quite nice, a little cold, but sunny. It was really muddy down there but things were not looking too bad. The Broad beans had been buffeted about by the wind and some of them don't look too good, but we will see. We put some more string around them to hold them up a bit, to stop them being damaged by the wind.
We dug over about 1/5 of the bed so its ready for the early potatoes in a few weeks time, and we picked some purple sprouting broccoli, 2 leeks and the last cabbage.
The garlic and onions have come on in the last couple of weeks and hooray - the shallots have started poking through the soil - I thought they were a dud batch !!!
