2011

Well, haven't written for a while but it's all change down the allotments. We no longer have plot 61 and have taken on plot 58 so we now have 2 plots together and it is making things a lot easier.

Last week we put Thomas' pond in and added a small water lily to it, the water seems really cloudy but hopefully next year there will be some tap poles.

On Tuesday night there was a frost with the temperature getting down to 1.5 degrees, the runner beans were covered with fleece so they were fine but the potatoes and kiwi took a bit of a hit, the main crop seem to have been hit worse than the earlies, which is good, they will soon recover.

Removed the fleece from the runner beans today, half white lady and half scarlet emperor, all from seed saved last year.

Planted out 45 sweetcorn plants today, ovation.
