Only wish there was a little less grass growing and a little more vegetables!The last update on the allotment was April 9. In the intervening time we’ve had a mixture of spring and summer weather. Here, you can see the potatoes are growing and the lavender. This is one of three plots we’re working on. Onions are starting in one of them. We also planted two pear and two apples trees. We’ll see them next time. The main thing now is weeding, cutting the grass and watering if the weather gets warm which, it may surprise you, it does.
