Down the allotment

 Hi guys, it's been about a month since our last post and the allotment has come on a ton!
These are our 'French thermidrome' overwintered garlics and some of our 'jermor' and 'giant red' shallots. Looking forward to some fresh 'green' garlic for salads later this month :)

 Senshyu & red baron onions for harvesting in a month or so!











This red gooseberry bush was leftover from the old owner of our plot which was pretty overgrown when we took it over. After not doing a great deal last year we cleared the patch and took out the bush. As spring started to spring a month or two ago, the bush (which was just sat at the side of the plot with some drying out seedheads) was covered in green shoots, and now after planting it with our fruit bushes is now covered in fruit :)

 Super red onions!

This is a snap of the blackcurrant bushes that we planted from Bill. Now covered in tiny berries :)

 This is the raspberry bush that Kayleigh got for her birthday - anyone any tips on the summer fruiting varieties?

 This is a picture of the Damson 'pixi' tree that James grafted for us. Looking forward to making some jams and wine - maybe just a taste this season but looking forward to next year!

 Potato land - featuring all our varieties but our pink fir's which are in new lottie.

Feeling the hungry gap?
Microsalads are the most 'abundant' crop at OMMLAA at the moment! In the coldframe and the kitchen there are lots of seedlings waiting to get into new lottie - most looking forward to tomatoes, squash and peppers!

So, as May begins, what to do now?
Can't help but feel that we're either a little too far ahead of ourselves (massive tomato plants!) or maybe a little behind. What will you be doing this May?


Keep it green, K&C x
