Good morning! Despite feeling very achey, itchy and sunburnt (I'll never learn but it was cloudy and drizzley yesterday!) we had a very busy day up at'plot and didn't get home til 8ish.
The plot was looking a complete jungle so Alex got strimmer and strimmed! What a difference already and it's not all done yet. Put some old underlay down (thank Garden Hoe!) and made a proper path. Now, it's looking all lovely again!
All the potatoes are now up but think the blight got to some but still got plenty. Anyone want any?? The potato patch was cleared and raked so now got peas and beans in. The brocolli is growing and showing some flower heads and the onions and garlic are very nearly there too!
There's still no sign of next door so I went scrumping again and rescued some black currants. There weren't many so topped them up with a few raspberries that I could find. Anyway, I've already been busy this morning and the next post will show what happened to the currants!
I'll also post a pick of the beetroot and chocolate cake that was demolished at work. That's a recipe that'll be a Julia special!
The sun is out now and off to get ready for more allotment fun (may also christen new bbq up there too if anyone wants to join us!)
Bye for now!
