Hard to believe it’s March.  The winter was very short this year.  I finally got down to the allotment on Thursday to take stock, and pruned the fruit trees in the garden today.  We still have leeks and beetroot going at the allotment, but that’s about the sum of it.  The sprouting broccoli has been decimated by slugs it seems.  So slim pickings for the spring.  The garlic in our garden is doing well, I look forward to harvesting that in a few month’s time.

Our plan for this year is to grow fewer types of vegetables in bigger numbers, and I’m taking more into the garden to protect from pests/diseases that are rife at the allotment site.  I will be publishing the growing plan on the blog soon.
