Cycling to the plot!

The allotment on 2nd May
And here lies the proof that today I cycled to the allotment! It was hard (especially pushing the bike up Whitehill)
One can see, it hasn't rained much last night, despite the promising weather forecast, so today I watered well. I also removed the attempted netting for the Brussel sprouts. I decided I will repot them in bigger pots and transplant them in the allotment when we're back from France. I also sowed two rows of parsnips and fancied sowing leeks too, but then realised that the packet suggested to start them off in a planter, which I will do presto.
The tomato plants are looking a bit better today, I think the lack of water wasn't very good to them. the courgettes on the other hand seem a bit pale to me, compared the the one at home. We need to get some netting and create a windbreak somehow.
So the work for tonight at home is:
1. Repot brussel sprouts, tomato, pepper and purple sprouting in bigger pots.
2. Sow leeks
3. Water
4. Relax (if I have time)
