When we went down to the allotment today...

Wasn't it a lovely day very warm for October. We all went down to the allotment late afternoon with Morris too. I had 100 onion sets to plant not that it seemed like I planted that many. If you have been reading I did plant some jap onion seed but they really aren't doing very well, grass is now growing around them so they may be squeezed out. The garlic planted a couple of weeks ago are showing through. Hubby did a spot of digging & rotivating on the fruit plot (new plot).

Sowed some more lettuce seed and this time I put porridge oats and tea leaves down to try and deter the slugs from eats them. Watching TV this morning and an organic garden had the idea of using hedgehogs for eating the slugs and snails. Now my next challage is to find some so that we can use them on our allotment too. It would mean we would have to fence them in as you wouldn't want them eating blue pellets from other plots but I don't mine a fence.

Most of the time I was looking after Morris he had a brill time digging and sniffing around our allotment, I bet he sleeps well this evening.

Picked some small broccoli florrets which I now refer than having a big florret as you get a couple of leaves on them too and french beans which we had for dinner. Picked and cooked by an hour you can't beat that can you.

I planted some carrots ages and ages ago (May) and I though we might have some ready now and I dug them up and they haven't really grown. Wonder why?

Thats it really didn't do much at all.
