The change in the weather has been exceptional as the dry spell continues into the Easter weekend. Good Friday was another day when the temperature made it into the low twenties Celsius. We are keeping trips to the plot to a minimum in light of the lockdown. It’s normally a very busy time there but this year all that has changed. Life as we knew it has changed in a way we could never have imagined, even a few weeks ago, and it’s not going to return to anything like normal very quickly. I imagine the current three week lockdown will be extended.
However, the lack of activity at the allotment has meant more progress in the garden.
I was originally intending to sort out the border I am renovating at home once the bulk of the work at the allotment was completed. The lockdown made me change my plans and as I’d already got the replacement fencing I decided to get that erected before getting as much as is practical done at the allotment in the current circumstances. Having erected the fence I managed to dig over the soil to prepare it for planting.
I’ve now got one small section of border to sort out to join up last summer’s renovation with this spring’s. I’m not intending to replace the fencing but if I do a bit more cutting back I should be able to dig over a patch of ground to join up both sections of renovation.
All we need to do then is decide exactly what to grow in this cleared patch this year.
