		<title>MY PLOT JUNE 22nd TO JUNE 29th</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weeks rain was a great big help to keep things growing, as the dry period was beginning to make plants wilt and slow down. The warm nights have kept things growing as we want them to and push with the ripening ready for picking.
It is now past the longest day and picking asparagus has [...]]]></description>

		<title>MY PLOT JUNE 15th TO JUNE 21st</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What a good weekend for getting work done, neither to hot to work nor wet or windy. The best bit is that everything is growing well and making up for lost time.

		<title>MY PLOT JUNE 8th TO JUNE 14th</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What a good week it has been for us growers, everything is coming on in leaps and bounds and the seasons are catching up with the calender.

		<title>MY PLOT JUNE 1st TO JUNE 7th</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
What a change over the last week! The warm damp weather has given everything a massive boost of growth. Things that had just got established suddenly looked as if they had been in for several weeks.

		<description><![CDATA[Bank holidays do upset routines, Monday night is when I write this post normally as it is the time when I have most free time.  When I get out of step with routine it takes some time to pull things back together.

		<description><![CDATA[
How time flies when you are busy, it doesn&#8217;t take much to eat into time set aside for jobs when something unexpected comes up. For the last two weeks I have managed to keep up with the allotment but only just, a death in the family certainly makes a difference.

What a change this week has made to the way things are growing, the hedge along side the site is now in full leaf and a beautiful shade of light green.

		<description><![CDATA[I am still unsure how to go on this year with sowing. The seeds sown in the tunnels are germinating slowly and are taking along time get to a size big enough to transplant. I suppose it must be the low overnight temperatures because the day time temperatures in the tunnel are getting quite high [...]]]></description>
