Allotment Vlog 54, April at in the garden - We are direct sowing seeds like theres no tomorrow because the soil has warmed up enough for things to be germinating direct in the raised beds. Over the weekend we did Carrots, Rocket, Cornflowers, Spinach, Basil, Thai Basil and so much more. I also have a massive harvest of Rapini (aka Turnip Tops or Cima di Rapa) in this case they really are the tops of bolted turnips. But absolutely delicious. Also pick some Leaf Chicory, which is like a giant dandelion and also - absolutely delish!
We also put up some hanging baskets in the fruit cage to try to outsmart the mice who have been stealing my strawberries. These were given to me by a Kim, who makes them up in Orkney from fishing rope she finds on the shore. I have high hopes that they will defeat the mice!
I am using some of the strawberry runners from when i moved the strawberry patch to put in the pots. Fingers crossed for a huge strawberry harvest this year!
The mesh that i reference in this vlog come is various grades/thicknesses. The ones we use over the beds are these ones -
