Is it really Spring?

First weekend back to the allotment in a very long time, we were so eager and ready to get back even the soggy wet ground & grey skies couldn't keep us away two Saturday afternoons ago.
Surprisingly there was very little to do, before the planting of the seeds, a slight Mint take over which has now been cleared back and I have a lovely jar of fresh mint in the kitchen.
We got some potatoes in the first 3 banks, planted some Beetroot, onion, carrot & spinach seeds. The peas are coming through as is the garlic.
