Spring has sprung

Spring has sprung
The bird is on the wing
But that's absurd
The wing is on the bird

We've had a good week on the allotment as the weather has been dry for some time and it has also been a bit warmer.

We've put in 5 seed potatoes in the hope of early earlies. This is the 3rd year we've used Lady Christl for earlies as they have been reliable, prolific and early.

Rosemary has sown the onions, 5 different varieties: Giant Zittau, Long Red Florence, Golden Bear, Red Baron and White Lisbon.

We've also sown the tomatoes: Inca, Purple Calabash, Black Russian, Jacqui's marmande type, coeur de beouf and tigarella.

No sign yet of any recovery from the Artichokes.
