Produces of the week
This week really a bumper harvest, there are so many to choose to put into the pots, the chef has no problem to whiz up any meals but where can she find the time to do it as she is busy picking at the plot…..
Sweet Peas
This is really a sweet sight with this lovely plant, they are just keep on producing these lovely scented dinky petals……..
New plants
The young sweetcorn seedlings was kept at plot 6’s cold frame while I am away, so the first thing when I am back is to put them into ground. As Hazel was going to discard all her French dwarf beans and leeks seedlings, I rescued them and put them into my plot. Also I have to transplant the marigold plants to new ground as the old sweet corns need space. The butternut squash which grow in pot at home has move to the plot so it can spread its wings……..
New additions
It is a long story from how I got this two compost bins, cut it short and that is from John’s old plot. They are quite sturdy and will put into good purpose use in the future…….
Bits & Pieces
As the allotment now becomes my daily business, there are so many to take notes on as nature is playing magic all the time, one minute the ground is bare and barren and suddenly it shoot out the most amazing things, just browse on……….
Apple Tree & Poppy
My neighbour plotter’s apple tree looks really strong and healthy and there are so many apples probably can feed for the whole year. This lovely poppy suddenly coming up from Pat’s plot looks very pretty…….
Slow worm
Still keep an eye on Bill’s slow worms, and since Bill now leave the compost tip alone for the slow worms, aren’t they lucky living in this 5*+ hotel……
