Well my excuse is that I have 2 young BOYS to look after hence......I got the wrong plot!! I have ended up taking pictures of someone else's plot (ermmm....remember i said 2 BOYS) and i felt like a real prat for doing that...
Anyway, lets move on to the real plot number 40 shall we?
here it is: drum roll please...
That's me and my boys working the land...
I have no tools of my own, i tried freecycle but no luck. I tried the local car boot, no luck so have ended up buying a hand trowel and hand fork. I bought good quality ones as this is what everyone in cyberspace recommends.
I'm borrowing my mums tools till a) I find tools to buy at the car boot b) my DH notices my wishlist hung on kitchen wall and buys me wish number one (a spade!)
I have been back to the allotment with borrowed tools and was advised to cover the plot to prevent weeds from re-surfacing. Luckily i already had this black plastic sheet on the allotment, which i straightened out and have covered the areas i have already worked on.
And it hasnt all been about the allotment. At home I started the first batch of seeds. Last year I made newspaper pots, this year i just bought them for a pound from the pound shop.
Something I remembered from last year was to cover the pots....i used carrier bags...
They seem to be doing fine. I have planted: aubergine (first time). tomatoes, pepper (indian style very chilli), spring onions, Dahlias, spinach and courgette.
Finally, I was back down the allotment today and have been trying to think about what I want to grow and where. I STILL havent cleared it up - now I'm thinking just started planting where the soil is ready...hmmm...anyway take a look:
And just look at the rubbish!!
Ok over and out...till next time
