The allotment is looking a lot more productive now, The seedlings are growing very well and I will soon be potting some on ready for transplanting into the beds.
The winds here are coastal and very strong, I have watched some clouds of dust swirling around the allotments. This is obviously topsoil blowing in the wind, some people spend hours patiently removing all the stones from their allotments. Sadly the stones actually hold the soil in place, there is a good reason for most things in gardening. I have erected my three bamboo wigwams for my Runner beans and climbing French beans to climb, I will plant some seeds directly into the soil and back them up with the seeds I have growing in pots.
My strawberry plants are nicely covered in the pretty white flowers that will eventually become juicy fruit. I always say the strawberry fruit always times its arrival with the start of the Wimbledon tennis tournament.
