Planting Beans

Well today (Sunday) was a really sunny day and I went to the plot to plant my broad beans. They had been getting steadily bigger all week and I didn’t want them to get root bound in the pots. I know other allotment holders are worried about the frost getting their seedlings, but you have to take a risk sometimes and get them in.

I had a great time up there and shot a video for the site as well – more of that soon. Here are the photos:

I have also tidied up the strawberries this year as they will get out of hand if you let them. I curtailed their longing to grow across the path onto someone else’s plot and cut them back as they produce such a bumper crop I cant eat them all.

My blackcurrant bush is doing well and I hope to have some fruit from it this year.

The blackberry bush is not doing so well, but it has become established and will fruit this year.

As you can see my raspberry is coming on strong this year and I hope to be able to make a few things from it.
