I have been to the allotment 2 days in a row I am doing well :)
I took my son callum with me yesterday all he did was sneeze (man flu) I took down my butternut squash and patty pan squash I've been trying to get down to plant them for a few days but they are finally in the ground now and covered with a mini poly tunnel until they flower I also planted some celery plants in my blue tubs as the plot is now full and I had nowhere to put them.
I also dragged the netting out of the shed to cover the strawberries they are green at the moment but they are sure to turn red when I'm not there and I don't want the birds to get their greedy beaks on them!!
Today I was on my own I thought I would get lots done I noticed yesterday in some of the netted cages where the cabbages are there were a few weeds I was hoping to give everything a good weed....but it didn't happen as there was lots of interest in my new mini poly tunnel lots of chatting and not much work done not that I mind too much :)
The weather was a bit strange it was a cloudy a little muggy and couldn't make up it's mind if it was going to rain or not!!
I was given some tiny calabrese plants that I've brought home to pot up I'm hoping some of the potatoes will be out of the way before they get too big.
Yesterday I had a feel for first earlies there were some good size ones so this morning I decided to dig up 3 plants they were a good size and tasted so nice :)
I did manage to get a little weeding done and was careful today where I sat as yesterday I parked my bottom on a large thistle....OUCH!!
I gave everything a good watering after throwing a tantrum with the hose ......my sandy soil dries out very quickly and then decided to head home for lunch
maybe ill get a chance to pop down tomorrow to do some weeding
