Allotment Update - Spring has sprung!

Hi everyone & welcome to the first spring update of Allotment Virgins!

1st we have a couple of pictures of our Jermor variety overwintering shallots which are getting really strong now!

Fruit land has had a couple of new additions - a blueberry and a gooseberry!

Here are our blackcurrant bushes from Bill! They went in bare rooted a few months ago and the leaves are starting to come out now. (& they smell like blackcurrant!)

Rhubarb found on new lottie!

Lots of digging has been going on on little lottie - tonight the first of our spring planted alliums have gone in - Garlics, red baron onions, sturon and stuttgarter giant yellow onions :)

Beautiful sunset at OMMLAA

Here's some of our new season seed from the Real Seed catalogue. Can't wait for patty pan squash & yellow toms!

New lottie - updates this weekend....

& finally....

We keep seeing this pretty blue flower in gardens and in fields, any ideas what it is anyone?

Welford Manor Snowdrop walk - the start of spring!





Keep digging love K&C x
