I'm finally starting to get some veggies in the ground \o/. My son was ill over the Easter holidays and I didn't want to drag him up on the allotment just to sit there and watch me working, so I put the plot on hold for Easter.
Here are some photos I took yesterday whilst working on the allotment in between the showers yesterday.

| Behind the glass and plastic is where I sowed my carrots, I hope to keep the carrot fly out by putting a barrier there. |

The first two rows of peas went in yesterday.
The barrier will not work against the carrot root fly unless you have it totally insect-proof - the idea that they can only fly 18 inches above the ground is just a myth, as many Grapes will tell you ! (Me too. I discovered their eggs lurk in newly cleared ground that has had Cow Parsley, and the larvae attack once hatched.)
ReplyDeleteYour plot looks really well organised, I have severe envy and a distinct feeling of having had a boot up the B*****de - ta for the inspiration! :-)
