Spring is definitely on the way as our old familiar feathered friends are appearing in the garden along with the Spring bulbs~
Well it has been over four weeks since I have managed to get any work done on the allotment, as we have been visiting family in Australia.
There are unsurprisingly few weeds growing, due to this long cold spell and the long drawn out Winter we have experienced, so far this year. I did some hoeing on my Asparagus and Rhubarb beds, the wind was so strong it was drying out the soil very quickly, and blowing some of my topsoil off as I was hoeing. I decided to water around the base of the plants to stop the soil from taking off in the wind and exposing the roots.
