You will be glad to know that we are still here, and haven't disappeared under all the weeds. In actual fact, the weeds are looking less and less. It has been a week since we last visited plot 5 and I can definitely say that I had allotment withdrawal symptoms last week. Good to be back!
So the plot is looking pretty much the same at the moment. The ground is nice and soft after the rain. Dan was able to do a fair bit of digging this morning. We are hoping to make four good sized areas so we can do a four year crop rotation plan. Hopefully with a little more rain we can really get stuck in and get things moving on.
While we were up the allotment this morning we picked some more blackberries. We seem to have a really good crop. There were only a couple of raspberries, think the birds had a feast on them. Last week I made a lovely blackberry coulis. This week maybe crumble, or even a pie!
While picking the fruit we came across this little beetle. Not sure what it is but he didn't seem to mind having his picture taken.
We passed another allotment on the way to plot 5 that looks a bit like ours did a few weeks ago. We are not sure if it is being tended to or not as we haven't noticed anyone there. There was lots of wildlife in it though enjoying the long grass.
