Rhubarb, rhubarb. Lifted a number of crowns from around the allotment to make a dedicated rhubarb patch. I love rhubarb though tart, astringent flavours don't seem to be popular these days.  
 Also put up the framework for runner beans. I used canes cut from the bamboo in my father's garden round the corner. Initially I was going to use some I bought in a shop. They looked pleasingly natural among the aisles of plastic but when I got them to the allotment I noticed they had a tiny label saying "Made in China".
 Now I know just about everything is manufactured in the East but it seems absurd that a bamboo cane has to travel around the globe to make a bean frame! I'll make use of them in due course but I decided to keep it local for the runners.
