Buying a big piece of polythene with the money HMRC says it is giving me back.

Only here will people understand why that is a double joy.

I am dreaming of enjoying our new allotment. Also looking forward to the open days and veg show that we have planned for the year.

I am dreaming of spending some quiet time on my plot just working away as best I can, and then sitting back with a nice coffee and just listening to the birds singing
Last year was a no go for me, so this year with some help with the digging my plot will be lovely, with plenty of things growing, all well, I hope
June.

Temperatures somewhere above zero so I can get back to digging over my new plot...

Getting a polytunnel up. Hopefully I'll do it this year.

Actually putting something in the ground rather than just taking weed roots out ... then ironically taking things out of the ground again.

Dry weather. I need to dig!

The first seeds coming up in their modules.

Homemade cheese, home grown tomato and home-cured ham on a toastie made with homemade bread All enjoyed with lovely salad straight from the garden and a bowl of soup made from the stock of the ham and a little of each root veg on a sunny weekend in late summer. Washing it all down with a glass of my own wine or cider, while I look over my rows of crops, shuffling the hoe about a bit in the warm sunshine and topping up that glass.

Actually growing something this year. I took a year off last year......and some warm sunny weather with summer showers overnight, not all day! ;D
