What is the first thing you do when you get back from holiday. I check the cat is OK, and then if it is not too dark go to the allotment. How things change in a week. Think May is the wrong time to go away and will get withdrawal symptons whilst away.
Late October is the only time to go... or mid to late Jan...
::)
After returning from a 2 week visit to my sister in Kent first thing I did was to dash up to the greenhouse to make sure daughter had looked after all the plants. She had PHEW!! That was before I put the kettle on, a first for me.
Will have to ask for a repeat performance by her when I go to France end of June, but that is only a short visit of 4 days.
just got back from filey, my beans and sweet potatoes are ok, can't get to the plot until tomorrow but I'm sure all will be looked after..really needed the break and feel lots better now..just looking forward to my own bed ;D
after 9 days in Dorset, got back to find that T&M had delivered tom plants(2 days after we left) that weren't to be delivered until june, neighbour had just placed plugs on mats in GH, luckily they seem to have survived phew!!!!
we had gales,...........rain......................no sunshine........well almost no sunshine.................heading north next time ;) ;)
Borlottie,
Just don't go away - in May.
Then you don't have a prob. when you get back - hey!
:D :D :D
Thought I had it sorted before I went away for a week last week, weeds seem to have come from nowhere and everything has to go in before I go away again on Monday. All dry as a bone but after two days on the plot (and one very bad tempered husband ::)) all should be in and straw mulched to keep weeds away and moisture in. Fingers crossed it all goes according to plan. I can't bear to think all that hard graft was for nothing.
I just got back from Greece yesterday and always, always, always no matter what time of day or night, I head straight for the washing machine ::)
