1 year on...what a difference a year makes!

I spent a couple of hours at the allotment last night and was reflecting on what has been achieved over the past year and just how different the plot is since I took it on a year ago. Here are a few pictures of its current state. I'll start with jobs done since the last update..

- Weeding and more weeding!
- Planted out half a dozen Calabrese Cabbage under a wooden frame with netting (pic below)
- Sowed Autumn King carrots around the brussel sprouts under cover with the Calabrese Cabbages
- Planted out more squashes and pumpkins and have three more at home hardening off
- Harvested Charlotte new potatoes
- Harvested the first of the Courgettes (4 plants this year so we will be Courgette'd out in a couple of months!)
- Harvested a few baby carrots - so sweet!

July 2011..What a difference a year makes..

July 2012..one year on..

Peas (Calibra) almost ready to pick..Ella and Georgia will love them!

Beetroot, Leeks, Golden Ball Turnips, Peas and Runner beans all doing well although 2-3 weeks behind where they should be.

 Freshly dug potatoes for tea, nice!

 Raised bed from the home with sprint onions, radishes and lettuces.

Carrots and Calabrese Cabbage under cover plus two Brussel Sprouts that I will be amazed if they fully grow as they look spindly.

 The view from the shed end..

 Found myself a new friend..hope he's feasting on the slugs and snails :-)
