Rain rain go away....

I've managed maybe 30 minutes on site over the past week - largely due to the inclement weather. Bah.
Our allotment isn't taking any more manure - due to the aminopyralid weedkilling debacle that is going on. See the report in the Telegraph

I've heard that about 8 plots have been affected to varying degrees by this. I (fingers crossed) think I might have been lucky - I was using an older pile of muck from one end of the site, whilst most others were grabbing it from a newer pile at the other end. Anyhow, must be upsetting for those hit by this.

I dug up th rest of my first earlies last night - what with all the rain I was thinking that blight might strike. Got a reasonably good crop - probably enough for 3 family meals from about 5 plants...
Oh, also got 2 courgettes and a strawberry!
