Jersey Royals @ £1.00 a Kilo - Crikey!

Welcome back to our Allotment Retreat. As the title suggests, we're getting bored of paying good money for new potato's (even at that price), when we know we have a plot half full of spuds that are nearly ready to harvest. We've had some good periods of rain this weekend and hopefully this will speed up our date of first harvest. As stated previously, the First Earlies (v. Rocket) were planted back on the 7th April, and as such are very nearly ready. Hopefully early next week we can check the ground and lift some lovely new spuds. Can't wait.

As you are probably aware, Gardeners World Live is happening next week, and our favourite seed and plant supplier (Victoriana Nursery) is sponsoring one of the show gardens " A World outside the Garden". Click on the highlighted text to nip to their online page. Sadly we won't be able to make the show, but we wish Stephen and his team all the best for a great week.

Thats all for now from us, but pop back soon for more from the plot.

Take care all and enjoy your gardens.

TTFN.
