Dark dusty windowsill – Seed trays barely warm tentatively create a well
For seeds of hope to swell…
Signs of frost barely passed – Harden off outside nature delight
Carrots , Spring Onions – Aromatic delight of lemongrass …
Carpets and sheets pulled back – Allotment’s winter secrets
Ready for used by sack – April fool, time to rack the soil …
Garden Centre professionals march – Arms full of ready-made
To connect with May’s may be – Now all chance of frost has passed…
Slugs, snails make annual visit – Munching away everything green a hit
Pellets and Beer traps – Joy as they disappear soils cracks …
Spuds planted for a pound – Maris Pipers discounts found
Onions, Red and White , Shallots – Hopefully jam packed in the ground…
Double row, double digs – Unaware family running out of figs
Windfall berries, left for birds – Fattening up in tree’s twigs….
Green wigwams in full salute – Red flowers, clever look so cute
Bees, Wasps, insects do the buzz – Green finger growers got the perennial ‘ let’s make a fuss’ ….
Harvest time swarm of green – Swollen potatoes ready to clean
Long for season not to end – Without our allotment;
which is heaven sent…..
