Allotment Dreams

I went to the allotment yesterday. I didn't do anything exciting, just weeding. I weeded the onions, garlic and broad bean beds. The crops aren't showing above the surface of the ground yet, but it's important whilst weeding to remember they're just under the surface, and not to disturb them. Ed cleared a new bed. I'll put some more beans in there soon.

It's seed catalogue time of year. I sat in bed last night and read the Chiltern Seeds veg catalogue and the Dobies catalogue cover to cover. Dobies has better pictures but Chiltern Seeds was funnier. The trouble is, I now want far more seeds than I have the space to raise (or the time to tend or the mouths to feed). Then I fell asleep and had weird dreams about an allotment that went from horizon to horizon and I was running round trying to keep it all watered and weeded like some demented Playstation game.
