Well the weekend bought some very hot weather so we started at the allotment early before it became to hot. We decided that we would take a look at the back of the shed to see what treasures, if any it held. We found lots of useful items such as netting of various types which will certainly come in handy for covering plants and protecting them from insects and birds. There were also some very good canes and three bottles of weed killer. Dan will hopefully use the canes when we plant our beans. One of the best things that we found was a small gas ring and whistling kettle. Essential for an allotment tea break. We couldn't believe that people would just leave this behind! There was also a lot of rubbish. A whole dumpy bag of it. None of it was reusable, or any use so it went to the recycling centre
So after this, with the sun blazing down and the temperature rising, we decided that we would tackle one area of ground. No digging, just a quick rake over and a little weeding. We found some small potatoes, and the earth seems very easy to work.
After day six and seven, the allotment looks like this. Still a long way to go but looking good. Hoping for some slightly cooler weather this week so we can get back to more diggin'.
