I have planted

Last week I planted my first earlies and they used up half of the plot that I have dug over. I hoped to plant both earlies and main crop but they would not fit. I will need to plant the main crop in the other half and get quickly digging to prepare a new veg plot.
I have planted raspberries and they are shooting nicely, I still need to make a good support for the canes.
I havent got anything indoors ready sowing and hope to sow direct when it is warm enough. I may need to buy a plastic greenhouse.
My dream would be to eat organic potatoes,spinach,tomatoes,lettuce, herbs,squash,onions,garlic,raspberries,strawberries and blueberries all from my own plot. I want to prepare an asparagus bed and when the hail and frost lets up I will be working hard to start one.
I just love excellent food!

This is my brand new allotment which looked like a jungle a couple of months ago.
What a spectacular view though. I picked it for the view but it is not very sheltered.
Lets hope something will grow....
