While many of you were watching the royal wedding yesterday I was up t'allotment with my husband. We have been working hard on putting up raised beds and we have now done 5. What a difference from when we first started! This time last year I hadn't even thought about getting an allotment and here I am making raised beds and reading up on companion planting and crop rotation!!
Anyway - here are some photos of what we did yesterday...

And whilst I was there I earthed up my potatoes. You have to do this when the leaves start to show to avoid the light getting to the tubers.The light will turn them green and poisonous!
L was down there as well doing lots of digging.So the three of us had a lovely afternoon. So far, having planned to not actually grow anything other than my garlic and onions I have the following growing there...
Garlic
Onions
Potatoes
Land Cress
Little Gem lettuces
Carrots
Blackcurrants
Gooseberries
Red currants
Raspberries
Runner Beans
Just wait until I get serious!!
And just to remind you... this is what it looked like last August
