April - cloches, plastic and fleece.

We're still mostly digging over beds and adding compost and other inputs. Have put lime on the brassica bed (Bed 2) and sharp sand to the carrots/roots bed (Bed 1) from the allotment plan done earlier in the year. Here's a pic of the seed bed, have just got a few lettuces under cloches for now. I like the 5 gallon water jugs the best as they are study and don't blow over and have a handy handly on top. Plus the water is only £1 per bottle at Iceland, so that's not too expensive - although generally we use a Brita filter. But now and again, like if you're going on a long car journey, a bottle of water is handy. Have also put fleece and clear plastic over beds to warm them up.
