The first of May

Here's my little pushmower, flat out. On the left, a rake, also flat out. On the right, leaning against the bath, more bags of (as yet uninspected) manure.

Tulips

Freshly mown by KFR, the uncultivated part of our allotment is a joy to behold, especially with the newly discovered tulips on show.

Asparagus

Here's one of the five asparagus crowns, being planted on 23 April.

There is no more room in the greenhouse

On 22 April the greenhouse was in need of a 'no vancies' sign.

Cauliflower transplant

The young cauliflower plants being transplanted into bigger pots

Borlotti beans

Borlotti or climbing French beans (two to a pot)
