First of march brings better weather though it is trying to hail! On sunday did a couple of hours on the allotment. Dug over 6 beds and put plastic on the potato bed to warm it up a little before planting. Tidied up some edges and weeded the herb bed. Found some daffodils trying to grow near the gate so moved them to a better place.
In the greenhouse the plants seem to be doing ok. Tulips that were put into pots are coming through now and along with the daffodils i will take them home for the garden.
Sowed: carrots 'early nantes 2 & 5' into 9" pots with multipurpose compost.
These should grow in the greenhouse for an earlier crop and with successional sowing should keep us supplied with carrots. The last time i grew carrots the carrot fly larvae spoiled them all so this year i will protect them with fleece.
I am still trying to work out my planting for each of the beds. There are 15 in total. Beds 1, 2, 3 have strawberries in so they will stay thier for 3 years then they will need moving to prevent diseases building up. Bed 4 has rhubarb in and bed 6 is the herb bed. Bed 10 and 15 are for potatoes and bed 14 asparagus.
