Finished Digging over Onion, Carrot and Parsnip Bed on Allotment 2

Today I went back onto Allotment 2 for another 2 hours and continued to dig over the Onion, Carrot and Parsnip bed. This now means that I will have to start to dig over where the Runner Beans were last year when I am next on the Allotment. I have also started to straighten the edge of the Allotment out.

Even more digging of Allotment 2

Today I went down onto Allotment 2 for 2 1/2 hours and continued to dig over down the very end of the plot near to where the Onion Bed will be this year. I have also dug around the Globe Artichoke. I should be able to finish digging this part of the Allotment tomorrow.

Today I went back down onto Allotment 2 for another 2 hours and continued to dig over where the Carrots and Parsnips where last year. I have managed to get up to the edge of the Globe Artichoke and will hopefully continue the digging tomorrow.

Moved Tomato 'Shirley F1' seedlings and Sweet Pepper 'California Wonder' seedlings into a unheated propagator

Today I moved the Tomato 'Shirley F1' and Sweet Pepper 'California Wonder' seedlings into a unheated propagator in the unheated greenhouse because of the overnight temperatures being so low.
