Green Lane Allotments Diary

Weekend 27 January

 

 

 

 

On the plot

 

  • Paid a brief visit to the plot to gather vegetables for the week. Harvested leeks, cabbage, carrots and parsnips.

In the greenhouse

  • The garlic is beginning to sprout and the strawberry plants are doing well.
  • Our new Fulton’s Strawberry Surprise rhubarb is beginning to grow.

Out and About

  • The nights have been very noisy due to the roaring of the gales around the rooftops.
  • The wind also means that bits of paper and plastic bags are trapped and accumulate in still corners as well as decorating the bare branches of shrubs and trees. 
  • The heavy rain has also caused repeats of the flooding experienced last year.
  • The weather forecast has just been on and the forecaster stated that we have had a quiet weekend – where has she been all weekend? Not round here!!
