Itchy moobs

What a fantastic couple of days: sun shining, loads of people at the allotment and tons of jobs done, with the whole family joining in.



Helen digging over and weeding the potato patch.

Four rows of spuds have been put in in Helen's newly dug over patch: first early Rocket and second early Maris Peer. Having chitted my sweetcorn, the young sproutlings are now in pots in the greenhouse, waiting to be planted out in a week or two



Sweetcorn babies nearly ready to say hello.

In addition, many more seed trays have been sown - tomatoes, peppers, brassicas, courgette etc - and new planters have been created for a variety of uses, including new additions to the herb garden, which I am delighted with as it comes along nicely... Even the weeds can't annoy me!

Of course, there have also been ample salad sowings: lettuce, mixed leaves, chard, radish, spinach etc.

Things are also happening on the livestock front, with work moving forward on the second run and a third, much smaller pen.

We have also had two new girls donated to the 'farm'!



New chooks.

Finally, in weather like this it is worth pointing out the importance of sun protection, itchy moobs are no joke! Seriously, cover up, wear a hat and make sure you have a high factor sun cream in the shed.
I'm awful at following my own advice of course...
