Cuttings and yet more digging! - 1 November 2006

Thought I'd better take a photo of the cuttings that I did last week in the shed when it was pouring with rain. The soil is 50:50 sand to multi-purpose compost. I planted margarite, hebe, oesteosperum and budlia - so finger crossed they take and are warm enough in the shed.

Did an hours more digging.

Then I had a cuppa, as shown! - before continuing to dig. It is a lot easier at this time of year and there are a lot less weeds where the black sheeting has been down for 3 months.

And finally, Mum you'll be pleased to see the Japanese onions you planted have started growing. I've planted the rest in another row behind the first row.

Lorna & Russell visit - 29 October 2006

My sister-in-law, Lorna and her fiance Russell came up to visit and so we popped up the allotment after a late night on the town following on from their Razorlight concert and Charelle's birthday.
