Yeah - Digging done!

Fortunately down here in Kent (well OK the London borough of Bexley) we have not had the awful weather that other parts of the country have had; but it has still been pretty wet. The good news is that this morning it's kept pretty much dry and finally got around to doing some digging.

Not masses but approx a 1m by 2m patch - just the right size to put in..... wait for it..... yep a 1m by 2m raised bed....

In other news.... we've only got one pot of 1st early spuds to go. We grew Swift this year, mainly because I was uncertain of how much ground would have been dug at the allotment and Swift doesn't grow too big so is ideal for patio growing. Just a pity the flavour is, in my opinion, poor. Definately growing something different next year.

Now looking forward to trying the 2nd earlies - 'Bonnie' - this was the trial variety from T&M.

The onions will need lifting fairly soon - they've started to topple over, but not the red ones yet (see left).

The dwarf French beans (Masterpiece) are looking good. Although you cannot see from the picture the first beans are forming so shouldn't be too long before we're eating them.
