End of spring!

Monday 13th June

Over the weekend one of my neighbours, with the plot next to mine, decided to irrigate her plot, she has access to the spring, she wanted water to reach the bottom of her plot, it did! It was a raging torrent that drowned the area where I had planted seeds.

The seeds didn't look to b doing much but they've been washed away now. So I've dug up the potatoes and sown some more seeds, hopefully something will happen.

8th June

Everything is much earlier this year. I had about a dozen cherries on my new cherry tree but the birds have eaten them! There are plenty of trees around with loads and I have been offered some by a friend. I tried one the other day and they seem nearly ready. I should have lots more plums this year as well.

What the birds left!

My spring onions are now coming through. I have sown carrots, leeks and parsnips so I'll see how they do. I've sown them in a patch of ground lent to me by Paco. today I found that a neighbour has cleared his patch and thrown all the rubbish over my patch,I admit there is nothing to see but it should be obviuos that someone has cleared the area for planting.

My tomatoes and the patch I've sown carrots and leeks in.

I have picked my first raspberries, first strawberries and my gooseberries, there aren't many gooseberries as someone knocked off the branch that had the most, still, for the first year it's not bad. My tomatoes are showing the first fruit and I have already had my first new potatoes, so all in all it is doing well. The only dissapointment is the lettuce, I think my first sowing probably got well walked over as Paco was showing everyone how well my tomatoes were doing! The latest sowing is still doing nothing, I think, maybe, a new seed packet is required.
