Made a basic framework for a small fruit cage today – although when we then went out to get some Raspberries, Gooseberries and Red Currants all of the plants are taller than the fruit cage – so I’ll be spending a bit of time adding higher sections to this – to then be covered in netting.
The shed is currently full of the plants – but they will hopefully go in tomorrow.

It seems that despite our plans to dig over the plot, leave it for a few weeks, and then dig it over again – have been scuppered by the very kind offer of 3 rhubarb plants from a neighboring allotmenteer. Here is a pic of the donation. It has since been planted and will hopefully produce enough stalks this year to keep us stocked up in rhubarb crumble. I love crumble.
