After weeks of anxious waiting the Jerusalem artichokes finally arrived, and 7am yesterday morning we headed off to the allotment, cleared the designated area, and put them in 18 inches apart and 5 inches deep. Like many people we had never seen a Jerusalem artichoke before they arrived, but rather than taking a photograph and using this as an opportunity to educate the public...we just planted them and took a picture of the newly watered patch:
Other parts of the allotment continue to flourish, with this week's highlight being the perfect rows of onions:
Today also marks the one year anniversary of us having an allotment! Whilst it was a big job at the
start, and there have been
depressing moments, overall its definitely been a pleasure.
