at the allotment day 7 through to 13/14?
By booyaa | May 20, 2008
sorry guys i’ve been slacking off, i haven’t abandoned the lotty i’ve just been bad at updating.
remember that i took about 8 days off to work on the lotty? well here’s the result:
compare this to the the before photo when we first got the plot:
i’d call that significant progress.
mrs. booyaa took a few days off to join me and she managed to plant marigolds around a few of our crops. she also managed to salvage the excessive space that was left after i sowed (or is is sewn?) the peas and beans.
we were away last weekend so we didn’t get up to much, however this morning i noticed on gardener’s world 7-day forecast there was a risk of air and ground frost tonight. so this evening i dashed over and tried to protect some of our precious crop.
strawbs under fleece (secured using a few tent pegs)
various plants in plastic bottle cloches (finally we get to recycle them ourselves on-site rather than relying on the council!)
no budget or hours twitter is acting up so I can’t go through my notes.
