2012 and Strawberries already.........

It has been some time since I last had a chance to update my blog.  To be fair I tend to post photos and short info on facebook and/or twitter, but for those of you not on them, here's a few photo's of the allotment.

Lots and lots of fruit coming and I've just had to cover some of the strawberries as they are already starting to ripen. First lot brought home yesterday. I have more netting to put up and that will be a job for the coming week or so.

The tomato and sweetcorn are settling in and the potatoes are coming through.  In addition, the recent purchase of a battery powered strimmer is proving really useful in keeping the grass and weeds down a bit. Well, here are some of the photo's, so see what you think..........

The netting on the strawberries and strimmed path....

First batch of strawberries....delicious !!!!!


Potatoes, tomatoes & sweetcorn around the kids wigwam tent they made.....


More potatoes and strawberries, with the raspberries in front of the shed. Note the strimmed path!



Dug, cleared and ready for some planting.........


A close up of the sweetcorn and tent...might be fun when they grow as I left a little path for the kids to get into it......this was taken a week or two ago.


OK, that's just about it. I will keep you posted as the Summer progresses!!
