At last our thoughts have turned to the allotment. Due to a distinct lack of effort in the allotment department over the last year the main things that are thriving there are weeds and grass.
So this year we plan to grow new potatoes, main crop potatoes (Carla), parsnips, carrots, beetroot, butternut squash, another random squash, courgette (and let a few grow larger into marrows), broad beans, runner beans, rhubarb, onions, garlic, cauliflowers, cabbages, broccoli, spinach, leeks, salad leaves, tomatoes and chillies. The new venture for this year is raspberries. I have on order 3 varieties (3 canes of each) which apparently will give us fruit for the whole season.
