We’ll give it a couple of weeks, but it looks like it’s on its way out :(

Cutting the mint Sage 'Tricolor'

We cut the sage, thyme and chives for a lovely bread and the mint for a tasty salsa and a delicious pudding – all of which we shared with The Gang on Saturday evening.

Lisa is wearing the allotmentgirls t-shirt in pink from our merchandise shop ;-)

Bay Chilli

The Bay is doing extremely well, it has more than doubled in size since we bought it… we could do with some recipes that use it though!! This chilli plant has also surprised us, we thought we’d lost all of out chilli plants to the rain and weeds, but we found this one still alive n the undergrowth! It’s flowering well so we hope we may get some fruit from it.

Lisa came up with a very unusual way of creating paths between the rows through the development of the ‘wiggle walk’. Looks a bit strange but is very effective – we are sure everyone will be doing it soon.

Planted today:
Lavender (4 types)
Thyme (2 types)
Tarragon
Parsley (well – we moved it!)
Coriander
Sage
Chives
Onions
Leeks
Courgettes
Bay
