Donations March 26, 2007
Whilst we didn’t get much of a chance to get out this weekend to deal with any pressing issues at the allotment, I was donated three new plastic compost bins! So we dropped them off and did a quick inspection. We were also offered a greenhouse - but I’ve got to check with the allotment as it’d be the first on the allotments. Pond - check (still there & full) still awaiting frog spawn waterbutt - still standing proud… compost heap - check Wooden boxes & straw - check (none has made a run for freedom) asparagus bed - check! AND ASPARAGUS!
w00h00 Didn’t know what to expect when asparagus started to shoot. It’s not growing up straight but quite curly… We watered the parched and cracked ground (don’t know how, it’s been raining constantly) and checked on the onions which are sprouting nicely. I was convinced I’d killed it when I planted it, so at least I have four living plants out of thirty! Is there any good companion planter I can fit in around the rows? Even my french beans are going at a rate of knots… I’ll be planting them around the main compost bin (which is a slatted afair so should give them something to climb up!
