Well it's now the end of the working week for most folk, so its time to enjoy the sunshine and your allotments this weekend. We have had such a lovely week of weather and all the allotments are bursting with lovely fresh organic produce. That is, all except ours. We just have a lot less weeds. 

Tonight when Dan was in the allotment, a lovely old man that walks his dog past our plot, gave us this classic old book full of amazing illustrations and information. Published in 1977.

We will hopefully begin digging tomorrow. Very exciting indeed. Hopefully we will both be able to do a bit of work. Children's moods permitting.

Our son Jack is getting so into his vegetables, that today he decided he would stick a piece of sweetcorn up his nose. At least  it was organic! we did manage to retrieve it without any tears.

Dan came across this tonight. Looks like it's not only the compost that is decomposing! Dan is going to make a new compost bin and is going to dig in this compost when we have managed to dig over some of the ground.

I might stick a fork in this I think it's done!
