Managed to get some stuff done down the #allotment... it isn't panning out as the mega-productive long-weekend I'd hoped for down there... but there are still two more days!!

We got some planting done. And now our current outdoor beds are full. We need to get more beds sorted soon. That's mutisown beetroot, onions, and spring onions in - plus chards, cabbages and lettuces.

The polytunnel is a jungle... but we'll just let it do its thing, harvest as we need, and clear it when it's time to put the tomatoes, chillies, etc, in (which will be circa 2nd week of May.)

Got the greenhouse base fully secured and started trenching one side for plastic lining (because creosotey sleepers) but the plastic we had was short so I'm going to check if we have longer plastic in storage before using the short stuff.

Harvested some mustard greens to go with tonight's dinner of gumbo and mashed potato.
