Next year, I will be in control.....
But the biggest fattest most horrible groundhog we have ever seen :( got into the garden and ate up lots of things- including all the leaves off my parsnips <grrrrrr!>
I have had my plot for nearly 25 years
Interesting - I'm finding it difficult to get motivated and get things tidied up, the chicken manure spread and the ground covered.I think part of it is the dark evenings, as I can't sneak out after the kids are put to bed. Plus, we seem to have hectic weekends at the moment.However, the main thing is that my wife is due to give birth to our third little one this weekend, so things have been hectic here. I'm hoping that things will settle down, and I'll get to 'defect' to the allotment to get some peace and quiet over the next couple of weeks ;)Strangely for me, I've not been motivated to start my planning for next year. I usually love that bit.
I'm not giving up the beans, onions and potatoes , so need to find spacve for sweetcorn, brassicas and squash.....
Yes I have occasionally thought I ought to try not to look forward to retirement as a time when I have no shortage of time and can do everything I need and want to do... I'm sure it won't be possible!It's like when you book time off work, I always expect too much and think I'll laze around, see all my friends, take the kids out, do all the DIY, spend hours in the garden, read lots of books, learn a new language, develop a cure for cancer etc... Must try to be more realistic. ::)
