A productive afternoon on the allotment. Dug up most of the main crop of potatoes as I was worried that they may start to rot. Sowed the area with green manure, then began to clear the 3rd bed. #TuckerFamilyAllotment

Today on the allotment I got the apple tree dug in. Weeded the empty section of the brassica plot and sowed green manure there and on the area where the first earlies had been. Rowan cleared a lot of dead grass and then I pruned the raspberries.
