Sunday 27th May

After a frustrating couple of weekends i managed to get some decent time down the allotment. On saturday it was very hot and i think i got a bit sunburnt i didn't spend too long down there.  Just managed to get some weeding done. and catch up on some watering. I also managed to get some of the tomato plants potted on as well as the chillis etc. They were desperate for more pot and of course more water. I again have managed to end up with loads of tomato plants with nowhere to put them. Heavy handed with the seeds again. I still have not managed to get the other bed made up and dug or filled mainly cos my drills have run out of battery and i can't do up the coach bolts. But surely thats what the jubilee weekend is for.

Firstly the poxy leeks dunno why i sowed them really it was a day when i couldn't be arsed to dig so i sowed some leeks (nowhere to put them) so i have put them mainly in bed B but I'm not expecting much as the holes where not quite deep enough. A year of trail and error ensues.

Secondly the tomatoes they were put into bed B just cause i just couldn't bear to throw them away. they were quality plants. but they are doomed to the outside british summer.
