Title: Off to Cornwall
Post by: Si D on August 27, 2007, 17:55:10
to continue the theme of "Off To..." threads!

Off to Cornwall on Wednesday to dig holes.  These be archaeological rather than vegetable holes though.  I s'pose a change is as good as a rest  ;D

So, the question is, what will become of the plot while I'm gone.  I'm leaving Mrs Si in charge, with instructions on watering.  Mrs Si has many more talents than I but she doesn't do gardening, infact she doesn't do outdoors if she can help it.  Hmmm, first time I've gone away half hoping that it's going to rain  :o

well, if she's anything like my sister (who i left with instructions to visit every two or three days to pick the beans)...i wouldnt hold your breath.  on my return from cornwall at the weekend there was a note from sis saying "havent been to plot this week as there didnt seen to be much coming on".   :o.  today i have spent most of the morning making chutney out of the 6lbs of too big french and runner beans that i picked yesterday. i'll give her "nothing coming on" when i see her.    ::)
where are you digging in cornwall?  and what? hope the weather is better for you than it was for us. ;D

The weather in Cornwall is beautiful at the moment. My daughter & family are at Porthleven & have been told it is the best 2 weeks of the summer.

I'm a little further east in Torbay, Devon. We've had hot sunny days for a week now. Too hot to work in the garden during the day  :). Not grumbling though - we've been able to make good use of the BBQ I acquired on Freecycle earlier in the year  8).

The tourists are here in droves.
