Not posted for a while, but that's 'cos I've not been to the allotment. Well, I wandered down there today and had a look. It is still ever so wet, but I pushed and pulled the rake around to disturb a few of the weeds. It made me feel better. The peas and broad beans are coming on nicely, and so are the onions.

I need to find some really warm clothes before I spend an hour or so down there.

Happy Gardening to everyone in 2010.

Cooo, it's wet!

A visit to the allotment was called for today. I hadn't been for a while and it was time to see that everything was OK. A couple of hardy souls were on their plots digging, but Boy, the ground was sodden. I fear that any digging done today will have resulted in some seriously compacted soil. I am much relieved that I had completed the digging and path creation before the record breaking wet weather started.

I did actually rake one bed to break up the crust that was forming, but that was it. The ground was just too wet to do anything else.
