Excellent allotment visit earlier today.
It was pleasant in the sun but a bit breezy.
We had a picnic lunch as usual but we took roast chicken slices, salad and croissants.
I dug out a weed pit after seeing the idea on here. Filled it with a lot of grass clouds I'd dug out, and some prunings from various fruit bushes - covered with cardboard and weighted down with bricks.
Planted some more onion sets, parsnip seeds and a few broad bean seeds.
Sacha did a good job weeding the strawberry plants and tying in some of the loganberries.
All in all a very good few hours.
