Getting the scale of these beauties is impossible, but these are huge.
Well done to the grower. |
|
Companion planting at it's best, looking really pretty!

There can never be enough Rhubarb, with Crumble, Custard and with Ice cream!

Allotments aren't just for the Fruit and Veg, herbs and flowers are welcome especially if you can combine beauty with being edible.
Grow flowers for the Bees and increase the pollination of your crops. Grow herbs to dry for use all through the year, some are so expensive in the shops and you'll know how your herbs have been treated before you use them. You just can't lose! |
It may well be so cold you don't feel like going out onto the plot but I'm sorry to say (or not) your plants are still going great! Well done to all those who have put the hard work into preparing your ground for the new year of planning and planting.
It's amazing to see how much is still going strong on plots, Lettuce of all things!
Chard, Kale, Sprouts, Cabbages over wintered and now the Rhubarb is coming up a treat, though it does really help planting in in a sunny position to catch the first rays of the sun in the morning and then the rest of the day.
