quick trip to the allotment

today i popped to the allotment briefly and managed to open the lock…. but didnt shut it behind me for fear of getting locked in ;-) 

I wanted to see what damage the wind had done.  We have had terrible gales this week… and so it was that all the black membrane so loving put down on christmas eve now lay strewn around with gay abandon, held in place by one or two pegs… oh dear!

And the weeds did not waste the time in getting going again! Nature IS relentless.

ANyway - black membrane back in place - big sigh of relief… but the good news is the garlic is poking through… lots of little shoots showing that despite the winter ravages - growth is occuring!

Am very excited!!!    Must get on with planning what we will plant and getting my head round all this rotational beds……  more books needed!!
