I'm back at school again, and missing my trips to the allotment. I did go on Sunday, just to see how things were going. The turnips are germinating well, as are the second crop of radishes. I have also seen a couple of potato plants beginning to shoot and maybe just a hint of spinach here and there. We also had our first harvest - rhubarb, which I turned into a rhubard and ginger upside down pudding - and very nice it was too. Not much else to report. I did quite a lot of clearing up of the strawberries the other day, and they are looking very healthy at the moment. The raspberries, on the other hand, seem a bit peaky but I guess they will perk up in due course.
