The Cage.

On Saturday three of us spent over twelve hours weeding, tidying, harvesting and building a brassica cage.

We have eaten and frozen pounds on peas and broad beans, and continue to enjoy the early potatoes and chard. We also ate the first carrots.

In the jungle

The growth is now very rich and fulsome. Here are a few photos I haven't put elsewhere!

Work on the spoil heap

We've tidied up the spoil heap where all the bindweed roots and other perennials were dumped when we took over the plot. It has rotted down really well, except for the bind weed! It will be a case of sieve through it a bit each week for the next year, but at approx 10m2 it's too bid an area to ignore.

The borage in the ice cubes is from the allotment!
