Ferried muck and compost to OH who is replanting a bed in the garden. In between tidied up the fig, picked more tomatoes and chillies. Started tidying out the big greenhouse. Cut a large "Filderkraut", dug some carrots and parsnips, picked a few cape gooseberries... :)

Brought in a potted impatience flowering nicely from the cold frame, plopped it on the kitchen table before company came. And later found it crawling with ants ::)

Just HAD to get the rest of my late delivered ever bearing strawbs in. OK OK I know its too damp, but have had 'em lying round wrapped in newspaper in the shed for too long. So in a brief dry spell this afternoon in the Wild West I got down and very dirty, and in they went, all 3 dozen of 'em. Job Done.

Then to cap off a perfect afternoon I spotted a whole clump of snapdragons...yep you see right....snapdragons blooming their heads off in the hedge. Wonderful thing that Mother Nature!

Regards, Caro

Laid some more slabs for the path, sorted out the netting round the spring brassicas, tried Oca for the first time,. burnt a load of ivy in the incinerator, chatted with plot neighbours who came second in the Oxford best kept allotment awards (our site came thirds and there's over twenty sites in Oxford)....

d**n, one of the plot neighbours I hardly ever see was there today and I forgot to ask if I could have some tree onion sets from him.... he's got a miniature variety that isn't the same as either of the ones that I've got and I'd like to try it out.....
