The eagle eyed among you may have spotted the chicken wire covered ground in the bed nearest the camera. This display of organisation can mean only one thing; we are now officially growing veg on our allotment. Despite being told by a fellow plot holder that it was too late to sow garlic (if the warm weather continues he's probably right) we figured that the couple of bulbs we'd bought may as well go in the ground as in the bin so we prepared a quarter of one of the dug beds ready for planting and popped them in the ground so we'll see what happens.
That was about all we had time for, it was nice to get a chance to have some time up there midweek even if it wasn't long. Roll on lighter evenings when midweek sessions will become far easier.

Plenty of scope there, lets hope we have a summer this year.
As long as we get some more frost, you should get a garlic crop this year.
Glad you found some cheap(er) plasltic!
It's looking good already!
You did the right thing in planting the garlic. It may produce slightly smaller bulbs than it would have done from an autumn-planting, but that's OK. They'll still taste just as good.
It's also worth knowing about the Asda polythene. That's the trouble with chain garden centres like Wyevale, they make their profits by charging whatever they like for basic sundries, knowing that most people will just go ahead and buy it anyway.
Wow, looks like you've got great soil, nothing like our Sussex chalk - and I agree, the garlic will be fine.
