Shed tidied up

After two break-ins the tea shed is back to normal.

Squash

Moving the path

It makes more sense for us to have the path down the centre of the plot than running along one edge

Potatoes

Other plot holders are telling me the spuds are making too much leaf but the yield from the first and second earlies so far has been really good.
If it keeps going like this the 272 seed potatoes we planted may have been slightly on the high side..

 Kestrels

Six weeks difference

Spring, at last

After a colder than usual spring things are finally starting to green up.

 Maincrop spuds are showing

Broad beans left and peas behind are good and the Daubenton's kale (netted) that was stripped by pigeons is making a superb comeback.

Cabbage and cauli in.

Rotovating

Burrowing along nicely through compacted earth.....

 .....then hit a root just as the shutter clicked

Old compost

Digging out the old compost heap 

Laying slabs

Still more to do but at least we're no longer walking through mud.

January weather

New Year Brassica Massacre

The wood pigeons are back and have taken a shine to our Daubenton's kale so it's time to reassemble the brassica arch. The plastic panels were originally intended to make cloches but for now they'll make good wind breaks.
