Welcome.

On 6th April 2007 a very small piece of lawn was dug up, and a raised bed was made. It was sown with a few rows of vegetables. Late in 2009 we gained an half an allotment (plot 54B). What happens next??

Pea and Bean Weevil?

We've had two very productive sessions on the plot this weekend, but I didn't take my camera with me. We've transplanted some lettuces, planted out two rows of "tundra" cabbages, and planted out chives, leeks, sweetcorn (in cloches), and sunflowers in the pottager bed. I've also planted some sweet pea plants to "pretty-up" the front of the shed.

Most important of all, quite a few hours were spent just weeding. I think this is going to be major activity for a few years at least (and probably for ever!).

As we were leaving we noted damage to the leaves of the broad beans and peas. Searching tinternet suggests pea and bean weevil :-(

Meanwhilst, all the work may well be destroyed by frost next week!
