Painting The Shed

Painted Shed

In order to protect the shed from the rain, I have now given it two coats of brown paint. I was also relieved to discover that it had escaped unharmed from some very strong winds recently.

Rhubarb coming through

The Rhubarb has just started to come through. I don't know if this is a late variety or just not fully established yet, but other people at the allotment have already started picking their Rhubarb. Not to worry though. This will be the first year I can pick the Rhubarb, so I'm looking forward to that. Last weekend I also weeded the summer Raspberrys and at last the Autumn Raspberrys are showing signs of life.

  • Perhaps you have a late variety of rhubarb? or you have been particularly cold this winter? Mine is almost ready to pick (see photo)

  • I'm thinking mine must be fairly well established as the previous owner had been on the plot for over 30 years, but it's only got a few small shoots above ground so far too so perhaps we've both got a late type...
