We now have plants in the ground!

At last we have things,  green planty things in the gound in our allotment, and not just weeds either.  Sean built three sturdy frames from Bamboo and string, this now has bean and pea seedlings at their feet.  Jane also planted out either brussel sprouts or caulis - we definately know they are a brassica of some sort - pictures to follow - perhaps someone out there can identify the plants from the leaves - we can't. Whatever we'll eat whatever they produce.  Finally from our greenhouse, to save  what was left from slug/snail oblivion we planted out our courgettes, one seedling already had a flower on it, they desperately needed planting out.

One of our friendly and helpful  neighbours kindly provided us with some spring cabbage seedlings so they went into the ground as well.

The other thing we did was build our galvanised metal garden bin type  incinerator, with the intention of burning our 20 bags of weeds, roots and dug up potatoes.  Well we managed to get through one bag in 6 hours of burning, not exactly efficient, we may have to get the council to come around and take the rest away.  Something else to arrange this week.

How it started today

Getting the pea n bean frames built

Getting the fire started

only singed most of the hairs off

from my arm - maybe less petrol next time

probably the safest place to watch Sean 'tend' the fire

Now its raining, so its coats on and

get building

Jane being arty with the 

camera, but peas n beans all planted out

So there it is all planted out, still  two spare beds

so will be planting out more next weekend and making more beds
