Vampires beware

There's not a lot of interest to share about last week. We were still having to water on every visit to the allotment but we did manage to fit in a bit of weeding and general housekeeping.

Our greengages were dripping with greenfly, which was also affecting the tayberry that grows beneath it. Last year we didn't pick any tayberries as we didn't fancy harvesting berries covered with greenfly. Our coffee break area is also close by so it was an unpleasant place to sit. It called for desperate measures so, Martyn treated the greenfly to a jet wash. The process will be repeated to try and keep any infestation at bay.

 I did manage a tiny bit of planting. I planted a few cauliflowers and calabrese that just couldn't hang on in the cold frame for longer. Each planting hole was filled with water before planting and then the plants were watered in well.
