I've been pricking out seedlings in GH..forever lasting job.. ::)
Planting shallots in modules, sown some herb seeds, gave spring feed for all fruit trees and bushes..bit late but better later than ever..
Spread chicken muck around beds..re-counted my squash markers and arranged them again and now I have 'found' some room for another lot of sweetcorn.. ;D
Sat down for break on front of beehive and watched the bees go by..and the sun was shining..neighbours cat came for cuddle as well, so there we were..sitting in sun..cat purring on my lap, bees buzzing and birds singing..wonderful! ;D

Over the weekend I've:
Potted my strawberrys into their planters in the back garden
Weeded and mixed the soil in the tommie pots
Cut the grass ( well the OH did it ) ;)
Planted a line of Winston that I swapped for some Rocket
Weeded the Strawberrys
Today I've:
Sowed some Marigolds in a small raised bed
Watered carrot seedlings
Watered spud in a tub
Layed some thick black plastic on paths and covered in wood chip

Sorted out my Sarracenias, which are showing signs of growth, with their feet in water, and did a bit of digging.

bad bit
patched two holes in a site fence where the 'little darlings' got in and out of the site. Oh, they also burnt down 6 sheds, which also destroyed 4 greenhouses. so, also ordered 2 skips for the morning.

good bit,
planted my early spuds

Spent all day at the allotment. Got excited about bonfire that Site Sec lit to burn the rotten bits from the 250 scaffold boards (that were delivered on Saturday, and have now all been taken, I have four) as he said I could put some of my stuff on it when it had got really hot. No wind and not much smoke so we didn't get into trouble. Watched Site Sec make wooden seat out of scaffold boards and sat on it to try it out. Saw the lorry come with wood chip and just had to have some. Got given a log from my friend (for the wild life). Looked at some lovely stinging nettles on a neglected plot and thought I will have some of those tomorrow. Dug up some marestail roots and put in on the bonfire, very satisfying. The excitement of scaffold boards, log, bonfire and woodchip was too much so had to go home and cook my lovely rhubarb (and custard).

What is it with these little shits they always appear when no one is about, but who gives a toss apart from the good folk that have the allotments,

We had a visit from the local infant school this morning, showed them the allotment and chickens. (give them positive memories of allotments so ten years later they don't break in an vandalise 8) Hopefully!!
Set a new person on a plot where a plotholder of over 40 years has had to give up just before his 90th Birthday.
Just wish we could offer small raised beds to people in this situation-more fundraising to do!

Planted potatoes and garlic and did a bit more tidying! ;D
