Me and Callum spent a couple of hours at my allotment today it was very strange as there was an orange glow in the sky and it was quite warm ....makes a change.
There was only one other plot holder there today and somehow managed to get on to the topic of rats!! and it wasn't me that chose the topic of conversation!! i went over to my plot and put up with callum making random noises to try and convince me there was a rat i was having none of it. It wasn't until later when i was near the hedge (it always scares me being there ) that i heard a scuffling noise and a splash and as quick as anything a brown thing appeared ,this of course made me scream the allotment down!!
It turned out to be a bird, it had taken a bath in a pot of water behind my shed ,thankfully the other plot holder just got on with his digging!!
I spent most of the time there edging the other side of my plot boundary seemed to have gained more room to grow things ;) it took 4 wheelbarrows of weeds and grass to clear it all.
We had taken some old compost from my pots in the garden to top up the three blue bins i have at the allotment that was callums job , then finally sowed some carrot seeds I'm late with them again i can sow up until July but can start them much earlier than may.
Good news from my plot the parsnips i sowed under fleece three weeks ago have germinated :) as have the beetroot
In my greenhouse at home runner and french beans have finally sprouted just waiting on that damn stupid pumpkin to germinate
Not sure when I'll next get to my plot the weather doesn't look too good for next week but if i do go I'll be taking down some brassicas that are now very big
