A glorious morning down on t'allotment! The sun was shining, the birds were singing, the transport planes taking off and other people were slogging away at work. Me? Oh, I was slogging away digging up another patch of dirt.
It's loverly dirt, all crumbly and aerated with worms. Nice stuff! I found a few taters and a bit of bindweed. It's going to be a matter of keeping it under control. After a cup of coffee (or two) and a slice of cake (or two), in went garlic and aquadulce broad beans.
Then a bit of a hack around with a mattock to grub up some bramble roots. After that I decided to pull up some bolted carrots and parsnips. I am now the proud owner of buckets of parsnip and carrot seeds. I wonder if they turn out to be viable? I bet the ones that escaped will sprout up everywhere and the ones in the shed will go on strike.
