Well had a good couple of hours clearing the brambles.
Got a visit from the secretary of our site who seams pleased with how much I have cleared since taking the lottie on.
He is not so pleased with the plot next door though, they took theirs on a week before I got mine.
Next doors was in better condition than mine when they took theirs on, it is now the worst of the 2.

one of the plot holders told me I could HAVE his blackcurrants, he has no use for them :o
I've picked, cleaned and frozen 6 pounds today, picked a couple of pounds for someone else and there's at least the same left for other people ;D

Nothing apart from stroll down for a couple of onions, as we have used up the last of the stored, but roll on Thursday when we break for Summer... which has been cancelled as I understand it!! ;D

Cancelled... oh no and school out in a few days!!!
My mini lottie(in the backgarden )is nicely starting to produce, it is so funny just having eight raised beds when we have 2 lotties having a year off, but needs must!!
It was late getting built so we are quite pleased with what we are getting.
Trouble is the cats!! All of the raised beds have hoops covered in netting, a real pain when you have to pick or weed.
So today I just had a walk around, eyed up what was there and decided turnips are on the menu for the weekend.
I am very envious of you all but still managing to grow some stuff.

Just back from an eight hour stint that was going to have been 2 hours max!!!! ??? ???
Weeded more and as ever, lifted some onions and all the garlic, confirmed that there are mini patches of white rot in 2 of the beds and eyeballed a rabbit that was nibbling on my carrots and not keen to leave. "I may not be Mr Macgregor," I warned it, "but if I catch you you'll need more than camomile tea!!."
It took the hint and b***ed off into the second earlies.
Planted out savoys, winter cauliflower, PSB. WSB, calabrese, red kale, green kale. Watered - causing the sun to disappear and ominous black rain clouds to appear - put down slug pellets of the organic variety and covered it all with netting for the rabbits and pigeons.
Home now, cork pulled and aches setting in.

Not managed to get to the plot, this job is making me very tired so not managing to get up there at the moment.
The rest of this week and the weekend are tied up so hopefully next week i can get some work done.
