A Salad bed before you know it!

Five of us went down to the allotment this afternoon.  Taking with us  celery, beetroot and  lettuce plants, which were soon planted up in a small bed adjacent to the strawberries.  We dug this patch over last week ready for runner beans, however, the beans haven't germinated, in fact they've rotted away in the pots.We also put in some sweet peas which sadly haven't really been thriving, so, lets hope the slugs don't have a feast on them. 

One lone sunflower also found a home (four others are waiting in the wings). Cabbages have joined the other brassicas and have been covered with plastic bottles to  protect them from the birds. As they sat waiting to go in several cabbage butterflies were fluttering around them - they will be definitely netted as soon as we take the bottles off.  

Tackling the raspberry patch has been on the to-do-list for awhile, today we got started. We knew it would be tough going as the grass is well established, however we had under estimated how entrenched and entangled the  grass roots are. We managed to clear a very small area but have mulched it well.
