Our allotment

Sometimes my little haven for peace & quiet where I love to grow things I can share with my family & friends.

Oh what a beauiful morning & what a beauiful day..

I'll just sit back and watch my darlings while they are tolling away. (Try and sing it in the song)

The three raised beds have now been filled with soil ready for whatever I wish to plant. I transplanted my spinach as it wasn't doing that well so lets see how it does now.

The left over brussel sprout plants have been been dug up also the brocolli plants ready for that area to be prepared for potatoes that will be growing there this year.

All the bags of manure we collected the other weekend have been emptied into the compost bin so to rot down some more. Hubby took all the rubbish to the tip to stop it flying around the allotment and making it look untidy.

We spent most of the morning at the allotment even had a bite to eat as I took sandwiches with us and a flask of tea. It was lovely sitting in the sun on a bail of straw, it felt like a spring day. Morris came too and is getting lazy these days and climbed up on the straw and took a nap.

Harvested some veg for Sunday dinner savoy cabbage, parnips and what was left on the brocolli plants before I dug them up. A little weeding got done and sprayed the broad beans for pests. Now trying to work out where i'm going to plant everything this year if all goes to plan.
