Yes, there is finally life a'growin in our little garden! I have planted out a few potatoes, the late runner beans and some spinach in the muddy patch and have been watering them generously as its not rained in about a week now. I repotted the cavolo nero kale and perpetual spinach ready for planting out in a few weeks as they were all beginning to look a bit overcrowded in their little pots. Must remember to invest in some of those little sowing modules next year as I'm sure that will make repotting a less fiddly affair.
The exciting thing about the kale and perpetual spinach (and the chitting spuds) is that they will be (fingers crossed) planted in our new allotment. I finally tracked down the plot manager and they have a half plot ready to be planted which he is happy to offer us for minimal rent. We shall be going down there on Saturday afternoon to have a look and hopefully return Allotmenteers! While I don't think we'll quite be living The Good Life just yet, it should give us a small amount of leafy green foodstuffs over the autumn and winter until we get properly growing in 2012.
Theres not much else to report on the growing front so I'll be off and hopefully have some photos of the new plot to show off next time :)
