It was a lovely sunny day here today so I.......

Pulled up the last parnips brought them home and prepared them for freezing.
Removed all the dead leaves from the stawberry plants.
Weeded two raised beds.
Weeded in-between the leeks.

The sun brought out a quite a few other allotment holders today. Some I hadn't seen in months. It was nice seeing them again.

While Tony was dock hunting I was emptying out our 3 half barrels. One is going to be used for the spud challenge at Walsall rd and the other two for our long carrots

Started the almighty tidy up in my garden at home. Lasted 1/2 hour. Think I'm going to have to get a 'person' in to help. :(

Dug up all the parsnips to make wine- and eat some! ;)
Dug up leeks and picked sprouts and sprout tops to make leek and sprout top soup.
Let a couple of chickens out to do a bit of weeding for me.
Planted the "step over" apples- did the cordons a couple of days ago.
Dug out the compost from and old water header tank because the drainage hole got blocked, put another one in and replaced compost for a new blueberry.
Tidied out greenhouse on plot and watered the overwintered lettuce and chrysanthemums.
Started to empty a compost bin where taters are going.
Moved a few blue barrels for the rain water collection.
Then came home, made the soup and had tea! ;)
