A quick look around the plot!

I can see strawberries!

Spinach in a row.

Spinach is good for you!

Big strong onion.

The enemy!

What’s eating my broad beans?

Lotsa shallots.

Watering can and bricks at the corner of the RCT.

First earlies watched over by ‘Green Face’.

Almost full of rainwater.

Broad beans.

It’s a bit sketchy.

The plot thickens.

Just looked through my seed packets and decided roughly what’s going where at the allotment. I hope to have some potatoe bags dotted around the plot as well. Thinking of giving sweet potatoes a bash this year too. Vegetables I am trying for the first time are broad beans, butternut squash and spinach. Because of past failures, leeks and celery are only maybes for this year. I may grow lettuce, salad leaves, spring onions and herbs in the garden at home. Oh yeah, and I might try growing mushrooms in coffee grounds… It’s all a bit sketchy!

Burger & Chips to relish.

On the pan.

Ready for the oven.

It’s been over a week since my last post when I blogged about making Shallot and Rioja Relish. So when I decided to make burgers and chips for dinner the other night I couldn’t resist opening a jar. I was pleasantly surprised, it tasted great – sweet and tangy with the shallots still holding a little crunch. And it topped off the burgers very nicely. Tangylicious!

Tangy topping.
