Conditions for digging were quite good as we have had some rain in the last few days so the soil is quite malleable. Lots of bindweed though, making it slow going. I think it will take a few weeks to get the leek patch dug over. The allotment is looking quite nice now. Here's another view from the compost bin:
Our new neighbours are also making good progress turning their patch. The frame in the foreground is going to be a little patch for our daughter to grow flowers and veg (location yet to be decided!).
In other news, I planted lots of flower seeds last weekend given to me for my birthday (see this post). The dill and cosmos were planted in Feb and are doing well in the utility.
All my seedlings are doing well, below are a few pics.
Here's the cayenne chillis in the (unheated) propagator:
The tray of alpine strawberries have proved disappointing... I only have 4 or 5 plants.
The tomatoes are getting too big for their pots so will need potting on soon:
Garlic chives can be seen in the pot to the left of the toms.
The first batch of leeks are doing well:
And the second batch of leeks are now germinating:
They seem to germinate better on a windowsill rather than in the propagator.
