Asparagus

We dont have an allotment here ( there are Council -run allotments  in Orkney though - 58 of them ) . But we do have the large area that has been used in the past as a sandschool , with high ( approx 5 feet)  banks of soil and that gets lost of sun.

There are some of the apple trees there and more stuff will get planted in due course.
The current project is some asparagus. The plants were delivered earlier in the week and after a couple of days standing in water , they needed planting out .



so some sand

  put into ridges

and the asparagus  plants laid   on top

and the whole lot covered in soil which will hopefully prevent the wind and rain washing the sand way




And see what we get  next Spring !
