Easter Weekend

Well ive been working hard down at the plot this weekend.
Ive got my sweetcorn planted out along with spuds, peas,broccoli and french beans.
Just hope there isnt a late frost or I could loose it all like I did last year. I never learn, I was going to plant out later this year.
Ive got Friday and Monday off so I think I will get the rest of it all planted out then its done and there is only grass cutting and weeding to do.

A picture of my polytunnel, I would seriously recommend anyone getting one of these. They are very cheap compared to greenhouses and in a lot of ways better

Horse manure

Well its that time of year again when the horse manure has been delivered. Bloody tonnes of it !!!!!!! So im having the afternoon off work to shovel s##t, great !!!!! Oh why did I put my compost bins at the top of my allotment up that big slope and not at the bottom like everybody else !!! why cos im thick thats why !!! Ive planted out some cauliflowers and broccoli this weekend so fingers crossed that we dont get the late frost that we did last year. It absolutely ravaged alot of my crops and they never really got over it. My sweetcorn is also ready for going out and the frost killed them all last year but I have no choice so im crossing my toes as well. Why do I always start things off too early, every year I say I wont but every year I do !!! Just because it says on the seed packet that its time to sow doesnt mean its time for people up north, we have later frosts, I know this but will I ever learn !! No lol Had a good sunday, played in an interleague pool KO at Intake, Sheffield. We didnt win but I won 8 out of 10 so I have to be happy with that. Especially since I was half cut for the last 3 games. NOTE TO SELF:- Do not drink with Speedy at pool comps !!!!

Finally got the inside of my polytunnel sorted.

Its all looking a bit too neat at the moment, I promise you it wont stay that way lol
