Allotmenteering
January 11, 2012
Fresh Air has been key to putting some colour back into the Tallest’s cheeks after her prolonged spell in bed.
Whilst the girls kept themselves entertained with wheelbarrrows and discovering small veges that escaped the winter clean up, I managed to tidy up the raspberries canes and do a bit of ‘pottering’. I’m quietly surprised at how good the allotment is looking, the raised beds are so clean in comparison to the weed growth that I would normally of had by this time, and I didn’t even get round to covering the beds before winter as I had planned to do. Hubby and I are making steps to put more beds in at the front of the plot, which will be a combination of permanent beds and potato beds. I’m hoping to put willow in one of them which I’m very excited about!
There’s been some gardening going on at home too, for too long now I have been staring through my front window at a tiny unloved space, which was previously cleared of the unsightly clutter it was filled with only to sit entirely empty for the last 4 months, Monday and Tuesday changed all that, and hopefully I can share my achievements with you all real soon. It’s bare….but beautiful!
