The first daffodil of this years crop, although I don't think there will be many more just yet, as all the other daffodils seem to have heard the weather forecast and are only just poking their heads above the soil. The first broccoli as well, the winter drought  of produce is over. The plants look healthy (Rudolph) and ready to produce.





Not sure that the urine is doing the trick with the foxes, no digging as yet, but paw prints all over the newly spread compost.
Today was a day of repairs on the allotment, fixing the paths, some of which have become positively dangerous. As we are on a slope there is a constant slide downhill and into the neighbours plot. I am trying two sowings of leeks this year, an early one for autumn picking of slim leeks, and a later sowing to keep over winter. Atlanta went in today.
