Strawberries which will go in the new fruit bed, once the greenhouse has been done (OH actually started on the base today)
The parsley has overwintered extremely well
wallflowers still going strong
Garlic - looking a little windburnt, I also think it may need feeding as its going a little yellow
Foxglove - gorgous pink last year, hoping for the same this year (can you see the spider)
Globe artichoke - gawd, it's huge. Its just had a birthday - now one year old
One of the 13 broadbeans that the meeces decided to leave for me ... it annoys me everytime I look at the bed - huge gaps everywhere. I've filled the gaps with new beans, but the meeces just come for seconds. This time I've put beans into cells and I've taken them home to germinate in safety
undiscovered peas 
The rhubarb is making an appearance
This year I'm intending to introduce a lot more flowers into the allotment, especially around the pond to try and give a little protection / shelter to whatever decides to move in. I've sown some cyclamen,but nothing has happened, so I bought this plant a couple of weeks ago. It has the most gorgeous markings on its leaves - not sure whether I've missed the flowers.
Cowslips - one of my favourite flowers. Again I've sown some seeds, but nothing has happened with them yet. Got 6 plants for £1.50 to give some colour down the herb path.
Pink forget-me-knots ... I'm sure they were blue last year ....
this is the lottie next door to me, which has not been worked since I took on mine (over a year now) ... any takers ...
lottie on the other side:
and mine
