Up early this morning and dug some more horsetail out of the tunnel before the sun came out. Planted some yellow beetroot that I grew in plugs at home - these have gone where the carrots were that were eaten by slugs, so I'm hoping the beetroot will fare rather better as they are bigger.
Went to the garden centre and got another bag of ericaceous compost and some plants for the front garden. Back to the allotment later to pot up the blueberry and pick some spinach for tea and to freeze. Even though it is bolting the spinach is still producing some very decent sized leaves and I picked a carrier bag full without making much impression on the plants.
No watering today (apart from the newly planted plants) as it is forecast to rain heavily tomorrow.
