The need to grow your veg

The need to grow your veg in order to do our bit for climate change seems to become more popular since lock down. More people are connecting to their environment and taking up gardening.

This year I have returned to my allotment which needed quite a lot of weeding and maintenance.

The before picture of my allotment.

The after picture, most of the work down, just a bit more strimming and weeding, then planting new veg.

First thing to do is dig up my main crop bed.

Planting out potatoes crops, two varieties planted across three rows. Still found some crops before digging.

Leaks, Chinese lettuce and kale lived through the winter months.

However the shed didn’t make it.It will need rebuilding and one other shed will need to be repaired and one will have to come down.

Plenty of strimming to catch up with and plenty of weeding.
Strawberry batch needs a good weeding, plenty of gardening to do.
