A (second!) year in the life of an amateur gardener, an allotment and (hopefully) lots of home-grown fruit and veg!

Little progress
I'm wishing the weather would dry up just a little so that a little more digging and weeding can be done! Some good news...got some planks from Irene the association secretary to make more raised beds. However, just one problemo....the weather!!!
Have discovered rhubarb starting to sprout around the plot so lots of crumble to be had come spring! (other rhubarb recipe suggestions welcome!
Oh and not forgetting the seeds that can now well and truly be called seedlings!

Rain, rain and more rain
It's been to wet to go to allotment so did some seed sowing instead. Pepper Topepo, red and white onions, plum and cherry tomatoes, 2 broad beans, garlic chives and coriander are all in their pots. Charlotte and Pentland javelin potatoes are chitting too. The gooseberry bush has arrived and waiting to be planted as is the rhubarb!
The caulis and sweet onions are growing too so it's all going on!!! I just need to work out how to post a photo straight from this phone....
