It's been so hot this past week - really really jungle weather that I have been wilting indoors and going stir crazy.
Today we got an early start up the allotment - and what a difference a week makes !
 |
| We have had some thundery showers some nights and the grass has grown and these experimental spuds have too |
 |
| The pumpking on the compost bin is finally taking off |
 |
| The courgettes have taken. Despite a heavy shower when we first got there, the ground dried out really quickly |
 |
| My primary project was to just pick the broad beans today - and Mr Lottie to have a bonfire |
 |
| A Comfrey plant has sprung up amongst the broad beans - so too more weeds |
 |
| Oh now - look at the weeds and long grass - this needs doing too. |
 |
| It's not going to be the quick visit that I planned. |
 |
| Pumpkin and courgettes have taken - but oh my the weeds |
 | |||||||||
| I'll just have to do the most urgent tasks first. |
 |
| So it was mowing the lawns |
 |
| And all the paths |
 | ||||
| Of which there are a lot on my 250ft plot! |
 | |||
| Mr Lottie played bonfires and I spent two hours mowing - passing my brassica patch en route! Brussel sprouts on the right, broccoli in the middle, cauliflowers on the left. Blogger is playing up so I will try a new post and see if that works..................to be continued. |
Looks like you have been really busy based on both of your posts.
ReplyDeleteHope the broad beans tasted good.
You will need to start a new compost heap now.
Have a great day!
