Total Allotment Time: 35mins.
Principle Tasks: Picking 'Tiny Tim' tomatoes. Planting out 3 'Russian Red' kale (Brought for 99p each from a local garden centre. I fear for them as I didn't have time to protect them from pheasants). Collecting up 'Golden Gourmet' shallots. General watering and weeding.

But which one? I spent over an hour looking them up but with no luck. They were small, very, very furry and they loved the muscari!
# 1397
Another first. One of the honesty plants (Lunaria annua) I've had growing overwinter in my backyard plastic fabric greenhouse, seen here positioned along the border herb and insect-attracting flower bed.
# 1396
The rest of the 'Golden Gourmet' shallots about to planted out in veg bed 2 alongside those I got in on the 18th (I knew I had brought more of them!)
# 1395
Looking hopeful. One of the two rows of garlic 'Vigor' in vb01. Nb. The trowel's there only as a height guide, not to dig them up.. yet!
# 1394
The rhubarb's also looking good. Maybe though I should of been braver and tried forcing it for an earlier and sweeter crop?
# 1393
A shrinking violet indeed. One of the purpled-leaved variety.. named Tim :)
# 1392
I was a little worried that the stable manure that I put 12cm deep around the gooseberries on the 24th might still be a little 'strong'. As yet the 'Hedgehog' doesn't seem to mind too much. Finger's crossed!
Total Allotment Time: 3 hrs.
Principle Tasks: Planting out 3 honesty plants along the border L-bed. Planting 11 'Golden Gourmet' shallots in vb02. Continuing clearing away the old growth of the border L-bed onto the compost pit (Allowing any bugs therein the freedom to escape).
