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!!
