Spent about 4 hours on the allotment on Sunday making the best of the weather - spent most of my time clearing couch grass. It was quite a successful dig, but you've got to admire couch grass's 'stickk-ability'.
Dug a couple of trenches for my peas - think I'll try growing some using traditional supports and grow another load by digging a big wide trench and putting the rest of the packet in - then, the theory goes, there are so many planted that they can support one another.
Got given some runner beans which went in too - they looked like they'd taken a bit of a burn so gave them a good soaking prior to putting them in.
Also bought a couple of sub-artic tomato plants to help fund the association - brought them home to pot on.
The misus even came down to he site - I was quite chuffed until she said 'oops,I've forgotten my wellies...' So, instead of any useful weeding or digging, she occupied herself for half an hour slaggin off the aesthetics of my site. Doubtless she had a point, but still...
