So, the gardening year (or at least ours) has begun. We went down to the allotment this morning and planted the Sturon onion sets, and the Jermor shallots. We dug the Jerusalem artichokes out and put one back in to grow for later this year. We dug over some of the beds, and removed old dead cabbages and kale ! Then we transplanted the blackberry bush from by the greenhouse to where the cherry tree used to be before it died. Hopefully it will be OK.
The leeks look fine and the onions and garlic that were planted in the autumn are all doing well. The same could not be said about the broad beans - there is one poor lonely looking plant in a big bed by itself !! Will have to plant some new ones when the weather improves I think !
This afternoon we planted the tomatoes (Tigerella, Golden Cherry, Shirley & Gardener's Delight), the peppers (Diablo), and the chillies (Hot Mexican and Caldero). The chillies and peppers are in the airing cupboard, which hopefully will speed the germination along :-)
