A very busy week

It really has been a very busy week, despite the rain we have had two evenings of hard work. The ground is nice and soft so the weeds pull out easily. We have all but emptied the small greenhouse and everything going in the ground - french beans, runner beans, cabbages and sprouts. The winter veg seeds have been sown in the seed bed and the raddishes are still being thinned as the parsnips are starting to germinate.

The big news of the week is that we have been entered into the Hampshire Allotment of the Year competition. I think we might be in with a chance if it was Basingstoke but to be county champions is pushing it a bit. Aparantly, you do get extra points for it being your first year so who knows!
