I spent my day off at the allotment today, which would have been cool but for the bleeding awful rain which had me sitting in my shed and... tidying things a couple of times. But, forgetting the rain, I still managed to get a fair bit done. I fed and watered chickens, chicks, ducks, ducklings and rabbits; strimmed most of the plot, tidying things up slightly - it has been mentioned that things had got raher scruffy. Fair comment.
While strimming, I came across a lovely crop of potatoes that I had planted as a Christmas crop back in 2009 and that had subsequently been killed off by bad weather (I thought) and forgotten... I also pulled some baby swede, turnip and broad beans, as well as a few onions and one of my elephant garlic bulbs.
Oh for some sun.
