Sunshine kicks off 2013 shock!

It is official, 2012 was wet. I’ve had nothing to say about gardening on the allotment which is reflected in there being no blogs since the beginning of December.  I think the whole country has a low level depression because of the continuous rain since around April. However, we have had two days were it hasn’t rained and they were today and New Year’s Day. As is tradition the autumn fruiting raspberry canes were pruned to about 3 inches from the ground on the first day of the year. Tomorrow is wassailing the apple trees. This will involve me toasting some bread hanging these up on the branches of the fruit trees drink a toast of cider and wish them all well for 2013.
