There has been more progress in preparation for this year’s crops, protection frames have been made and erected for carrots and brassicas.
These are timber frames covered in plastic and covered with fleece or enviromesh for carrots to stop carrot fly. The brassica bed uses mesh to stop pigeons eating the growing plants.
Vandals have been on site and caused damage to the shed and polytunnels, both have been repaired.
The seeds that were sown a few weeks ago are now ready to be planted into modules to grow on.

Sue Roberts is back at work.

Sue Roberts has been off since returning from the Falkland Isles

Feeling really poorly on returning from her annual adventures to far gone places (last year it was deepest Africa), Sue had to admit to defeat and go to the Doctor.

Eventually, they have concluded that our colourful Allotment Officer has pneumonia and will be off for a few more weeks to recover.

We wish her a speedy recovery.

On the lighter side, there is no evidence that Sue has – or ever has had – penguin flu

This is how she landed on several beaches.
