Plant sale

We had a plant sale on Saturday ~ one way of raising money for new seeds & equipment. One requirement in the next few weeks will be for more hazel rods to create wigwams for climbing beans. The sun shone on us for the sale & we raised over £100, so we shall be able to afford all the poles we need.

We did a steady trade, but there were enough of us that we were able to perform routine gardening tasks while keeping an eye on the sales table

Here also some pictures of the broad bean seedlings we planted a couple of weeks ago now establishing nicely:

The red & green oakleaf lettuces are also coming on:

The rhubarb is coming into flower, we should remove the flower spikes for stronger growth (I always leave the flowers on my allotment plants ~ they're rather magnificent):
