    at the allotment day 6 (ep): light yet filling

    By booyaa | May 5, 2008

    i should probably warn you all that this week is gonna be allotment heavy i.e. i will be posting frequent updates. the reason for this, is that i somehow managed to accumulate a sizable amount of leave at work that needed to be used up, so i decided to use it up on the lotty.

    today’s visit was a fleeting visit, mostly ’cause me and mrs. booyaa were still knackered from saturday and sunday’s heroic effort. i made a start on the area that would be host to our peas, jicama and beans. this part of the plot was previously called “fox town” because it was once used as a hideout by a fox (or so we’ve been told by our plot neighbours), but don’t panic wildlife fans, uncle boo did check several times before digging it up to make sure the fox hadn’t set up home, no tell tales like cigarette butts or hen fancier weekly were to be found, nor did a fox come bounding out demanding to know what the hell we thought we were doing.

    whilst digging i kept finding bits of rotting wood. it was starting to look like an archaeological dig until lionel (who appears to spend as much time as we do at the lotty) said that the previous plot owner had his compost bin in that area.  mystery solved.

    mrs. booyaa was seeding like a torrent freak, she started on a half row of white beetroot and row of mixed wild flowers. the wild flowers aren’t just for our enjoyment, they’re also for the bees and insects honest.
