I am still picking runner beans so have yet to take them down in order to prepare the bed for the garlic which will arrive any day.

Re: My allotment
In our little shop yesterday, for our new plot, I bought some onions, one garlic, a few peas and some broad beans.We are continuing to clear the beds of weeds, grass and brambles, and much rhubarb (thinning all that down), and we still have some horse manure available on the pile, so when we've forked over the little bit of earth left in the beds, can get some manure down. Then, if we're lucky, have a new delivery of black compost due in a few weeks. Providing the idiots here don't order yet another horse manure lot in the meantime!!
Betti my neighbour is eager to get things planted, but in the meantime she picks the apples that haven't dropped.
I keep forgetting to take photos. Will do that today.

Sets are going in tomorrow.
An aside which piss me off
As my allotment is near a Railway Station there are parking restrictions between 8.30 and 9.30.
After 9.30 you can park in the road by my allotment as I do some times with out taking the car into the allotment.
So Today parked behind my car was just passed the double yellow line and walked 30 foot to site.
Came back out and had a £55 parking ticket....It seems that between the double line and the single line about the length of two cars I parked in a notice of the restrictions of 8.30 to 6.30 no parking on the side I parked and 8.30 to 9.30.on other side.
Well pissed off.

Re: My allotment
Rest of Garlic went in to day.Sets were planted last week to dry to see any signs of growth except for the winter weeds
