Allotment - the sequel







It was back to the allotment for the second consecutive day to give some areas a further strim and to get some additonal planting done too. It is now looking good up there and I can focus on weeding and watering for the next weeks, although the children's plot is yet to be planted up. That is something for half term.

Planted climbing French beans, peas, carrots, beetroot and radish today with lots of seed being used up now to save it going to waste.

At the moment it is all looking good but we shall see how it develops from here.

I drove home and then walked to and from Joy's house to spend a bit of time in her garden. I got peas and French beans in, as well as more radish and beetroot, similar to the allotment. The soil is lovely and warm today and you can almost feel it crackling with the energy to burst those seeds into lovely veg for us later in the summer.

The walk home took me along Horton Way and the banks are still covered with bluebells. They are looking lovely. The view in the front garden is also beautiful and I thought it worth capturing the clematis now running over the porch. The cotoneaster is a mass of bees under the dining room window. It is such a lovely sound standing there listening to the buzzing of so many bees.

I think I have been slightly overdoing all the exercise and allotmenting lately and that culminated in feeling so physically tired on Friday...
