Help!!!!!

Just don't seem to have time to do anything at the allotment at the moment and if this continues, I will not be ready come March. I am seriously considering borrowing a rotovator despite it being completely against my principles cos it chops up worms. Can't see any alternative at the moment - and before Wardy suggest it, if I could afford 200 square metres of weed suppressant, I would go no dig - but I can't!!!

Did dig up what would have been a massive parsnip today but it had forked quite early. As forking is not a genetic issue but a environmental one, this has become my first choice for next year's seed as has been transplanted to go to seed. One more and that will all be taken care of.

Not much doing but quite a bit picking

News for January. Absolutely miles behind with my preparation. Too much rain, ground like a quagmire and I got off to a bad start. Think my potatoes will be clearing their ground this year.

Today I dug up numerous parsnips, numerous leeks, picked so sprouts, cut a sprout top and picked some mixed spicy winter salad leaves which are lovely - Will be growing loads of those next year.
