This is the plot on the 26.06.11

My first carrots of 2011,and they carrot fly free:0), along with some Home Guards.

Asparagus

These are my first ever Asparagus ferns, and i m pretty proud of them. In total there are 7 showing from 18 crowns, so hopefully there ll be a few more starting to show within the next few weeks.

latest addition to the allotment.

With the excellent spring weather  the honey bee has had a great start to the year, and with it all this means that they have been showing signs of and swarming earlier this year than most,so after doing an artifical swarm to one of my hives i moved this small nucleus of bees over to  the the allotment, with all the strawberries beans and fruit trees to pollinate they'll be a welcome sight and really are a pleasure to watch while they are going about there daily business.

sweetcorn.

The growing season has really started to kick in and  its all go at the minute with trying to get everything sowed and planted out,i planted these honeydew sweetcorn seeds  three weeks ago under cover and hope to plant them outside around the end of this month,i have never tried to grow sweetcorn before but have the ground all well prepared and sitting ready for them ,i bought the seeds from Marshalls seeds website and out of all the sweetcorn they were selling these had by far the best reviews from people who had grown them in the past,that good i might add that they are now all sold out now. 

The deep beds in the foreground are for my carrots and parsnips,the others being used for runner beans,beetroot,rhubarb,onion sets and asparagus.
