Still not feeling great but managed two hours at allotment yesterday and an hour and a half today. Because of how I feel noticed for the first time that my half plot looks bigger now than when I got it, probably because I now know how hard it is to clear even a small area that is covered in carpet with grass and weeds on top growing through the carpet and rooted through to the soil. I still love being there though and enjoy the visit from the blackbird and seeing the half of the plum tree that does not need cutting back ( die back on other side) in flower.

I've planted early potatoes, also put the pink fir apples in because they did not look too happy in the shed. The peas I started off in peat pots look as if they are growing well, and the Italian lettuce seeds are flourishing hope the slugs do n't notice. Planted the two currant bushes one black currant one red. There is still masses to do though, making slow progress. The rhubarb growing there tastes good though.
