The fedge is not looking much bigger yet but some of the twigs are start to bud.
Artichoke cutting from allotment neighbour is looking good. So far my most successful artichoke attempt.
And the rhubarb I moved at the end of 2017 looks like it's back to health after the stress of its move.
So apparently these Willow twigs will be starting to look like a fence by Spring Time. It's called a Fedge as it's half fence half hedge. Pretty easy to plant, relatively inexpensive and easy to get materials to the allotment without a car. It's also a carbon neutral fuel for anyone with a wood burner.
These are the most pretty beans, prior to cooking, sadly they look rather dull afterwards.
A lot was ready today so we have potato and spinach pakora and Bombay potato for tonight and for tomorrow I am preparing a potato and cabbage bake using a mix of Savoy and Brussel sprout leaves. Also have two heads of lettuce for this week's lunches in sandwiches or salads.
I've had no luck with radishes for the last few years. This year they are doing well. I'm sure it's a soil issue, it's better in some beds than others. Coir blocks are definitely a great thing to grow in.
Proper ' grown up' spinach. I've had some baby leaves before but never had it grown to this stage. I don't know if there will ever be enough to make something cooked with spinach cause it's such a lier and shrinks so much.
There were also my first ripe strawberries of the year so I ate them after I had my lunchtime sandwich.
