January on the allotment

Hi all,
January isn't known for being the busiest time on the plot but we've got a few updates for you!
First of all, here on the left are some leeks harvested from the lottie this afternoon. (The little one is one of our electras, the big ones are from Bill's plot!) They are now in a lovely leek and potato soup ready for tomorrow's lunch!
We've also gone a little bit early (on Bill's advice) and sown a few Costoluto Genovese tall vine early indeterminate tomatoes from the Real Seed Co. and are hoping they'll germinate nicely on the windowsill soon :)
Thanks to all of our followers on Twitter who helped us choose which seed potatoes to chit this year. We've gone for;

1st earlies - Swift, Arran Pilot, Duke of York.
2nd earlies - Vivaldi, Kestrel.
Maincrop - Maris Piper, Cara, Picasso, Kind Edward, Rooster.
They're out chitting now and we'll let you know how they're getting on throughout the year. Everything else in the lottie is going strong and growing slowly but surely.
Today is also a very special day as the first snowdrop from the bulbs we planted back in Autumn has been spotted just poking through the grass - Spring is on its way! K&C
