There was a glorious rainbow in the sky as the sun started sinking on my way up to the allotments tonight. What cheered me up even more was remembering I've got a day earmarked for the plot tomorrow - despite the massive amount that needs doing.
The garlic's growing strongly and I've got a couple more bulbs to go in as a last planting to see if I can squeeze a few more out of the plot. Last year's crop did well and kept us going until a few weeks back, so we're hopefully on for another winner.
There was a little surprise in the greenhouse too - a couple of small module trays of Alpine strawberries sown last winter are slowly coming to life. Not sure what I'll do with these once they're big enough to pot on.
As a final sign spring's on the way, the pear tree's budding nicely. This was a maiden planted as a Christmas present for the OH in early 2015 - wonder if we'll get any pears off it this summer.
