With an increase in sowing activity and March slowly creeping towards its end, activity on the allotment is starting to increase week on week, I’ve just got to get there on my allocated Saturday morning. Potatoes in the ground, Onion, Leeks update.

An early start on Saturday morning with a little girl desperate to get up and go down stairs and with the sun sneaking through the bind in the bedroom, there seemed very little hope of having a lazy start to the day.

After making my own plan I’ve realised I am actually a few weeks behind where I should be at this time of the year, add a little bit of sunshine and the panic is already starting to set in.
