A few new pictures from 121 & 144

I started on plot 121 today - all that was left to do there, as the rest of the plot is now full of potatoes (8 rows of maincrops just in case you need reminding) was to weed the Asparagus bed, which I completed in about 40 minutes.  I was very pleased to see a whole little group of Asparagus in all different sizes, waiting to greet me.  As this is year 3, I should get a lovely crop this year, as year 3 is the year that you should wait for, until you start to harvest.

Now back to 144 - I noticed that the flowers on the Micro Pond were in full bloom today, but sadly there were no signs of life, so I asked Blossom, from a neighbouring plot, if she had and life in her pond (which is massive) and she was happy to say that she had plenty of little baby frogs that she would be more than happy to share with me, so I took along a mug and scooped up a few, carefully walked them back to 144 and introduced them to their new home.

And here they are - well some of them anyway - it's hard to get a photo of them but you can clearly see that they have settled in well.

Main Crops are finally IN!!!

4 rows of Desiree and 4 of Cara

What more can I say? 

I managed to get finished JUST before the rain came too!

Onions & Strawberries

Today I took advantage of the weather and put 4 rows of Onion sets in.....

 This is how I space them - using my "hand telephone" well actually it's how I space out most things on the plot!

I then just had time to re plant some strawberries, that I lifted from the other plot last year, as I knew that I was going to using the raised bed that they were in, to give to Junior.  They did well in the greenhouse over the winter months considering I forgot that they were there and I barely watered them!!

Spinach has made it!!

Yes, here it is......

...and just in case you didn't see it in the first picture!

Needless to say I am thrilled
