We are clearing an area for council compost to be dropped off, one the of the guys chainsawed off some stumps and others have chopped down some bushes and hacked down the stingers so me and the Sec had a bonfire to finish it off, he even give me a freebie box of lime. ;) Its the first time since I've been on the lottie that everyone has mucked in and done a bit, I bet the few who shyed from the work are the first in the queue for the compost though . :-X I made ready the soil for more brassicas, then transplanted the PSB, and did some weeding and watering ;D ;D ;D

We picked strawberries - again. There are so many, they are so huge, so red, so juicy, so appetising - and there are LOTS more to come. I wonder if we'll get fed up with them - I think not.

Eat my lunch at the allotment, Manuel gave me a pumpkin (or was it squash, will find out soon) plant that he planted for me on my compost box and then watered and fed for me. Got strict instructions on watering and feeding. Someone else gave me a handful of borlotti bean seeds which I planted. I picked strawberries, a few more redcurrants and a dug up a cabbage. I then weeded and dug up an ants nest and got itchy arms. Decided it was too hot to weed, so watered and watered and watered, thought that would bring on the promised rain/thunder storms and it sure worked. Looked at the pile of Council compost and watched other people filling their wheelbarrows.

An "interesting" day (in the Chinese sense). Worked on a garden that I'm renovating and re-creating for our local Age Concern Centre. At 4 pm someone padlocked the gates, leaving me and my car stuck inside high fences with barbed wire on top. Tried phoning every number I could think of without success, until eventually getting through to the Age Concern London HQ. They tried lots of numbers too without success before advising me to call the police, who said it was nothing to do with them and were amazingly rude and unhelpful. Age Concern's Chief Executive eventually authorised me to call the Fire Brigade, who were great - they broke the padlock and rescued me at 8 pm. Meanwhile, my dear wife had passed a cup of tea and Kit Kat to me through a hole in the gate. Feeling more and more like Victor Meldrew every day! ::)
