Beginning to look like a normal allotment, whatever 'normal' is....
GQT yesterday said that to plant outdoors, check for chickweed, man says if it is growing the ground is ar a decent temperature, stable and above 6-8C. None here at the moment so will wait to move out beans and other stuff, maybe, at the earliest, mid April.
Elsewhere in the plot, broadbeans are fine, also garlic and leek, some spuds are showing up, strawberries having a field day as I am moving them outside, in various places, theory being they'll spread and cover the ground, sort of weed contril

🧅 Better habitats for forest farming wild leeks could help future foraging demands
(... I'm lucky to have a lot of them on my farm)

December 7, 2024. The red cabbage has shared pigments with the shredded leeks. They spent two weeks fermenting together and agreed to be this color and this flavor. It’s crunchy and lightly bitter. #fermentation, #minnesota, #growyourown, #nodig, #leeks, #sauerkraut
Good day/afternoon/evening/night - depending on your time zone; plot news: here's a few shots of my recycling efforts; the greenhouse remade with used windows recovered from someone; inside view from a 100yo armchair next to the plant container wrapped in gauze, the tank itself is half a water tank made in fiberglass - so not hot water - while the sticks are sections of tent poles.
While at it also prepared a section of ground for more grapevine, and another section where I planted 20 leeks.

Check your leeks for pesky leek moth caterpillars! 🐛 These small critters love to munch on leaves, causing damage. Look for tiny holes and silk threads, especially near the base. Remove any caterpillars by hand and keep your plants healthy and thriving! 🌱 #Gardening #Leeks #PestControl
In allotment news, I planted about 50 'Lancelot' leeks in between plants in my row of fava beans. I'm sure they'd prefer their own space but my garden is at capacity already. Fingers crossed that they get along. #leeks #FavaBeans #BroadBeans #allotment #garden #gardening #vegetables

Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician and ‘father of medicine’ prescribed the leek as a cure for nosebleeds.

#Potato gnocchi with Brussels #sprouts and #leeks, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, and olive oil. It’s as simple as that… except maybe the salt and pepper. Yet, when the vegetables and leeks are completely sweated or cooked, there’s plenty of taste and texture. It’s wonderful. This is the power of simplicity, specifically chosen ingredients, and articulated cooking. #food
