Christmas gifts...

How rude of me not to post Christmas goodies....
Here goes:

Quick visit after the stormy weather

Had a quick look at the allotment today whilst on a bike ride.  A shed opposite me has blown down partially blocking the car park.  Mines still up and no damage to anything.  Garlic growing well. Took up a Christmas present too... a zombie gnome.  Too funny! 

Rain stopped play

A quick hour at the Lottie.  Another bed weeded and manure spread. Dig up a couple of parsnips too... thx to the previous tenant!  Will be on tonight's dinner plate.....

Friday.. Thirteenth!

Unlucky for some perhaps but planted the strawberries today and guess what?!  My garlic has popped up some nice green shoots! Thank you very much��

Strawberries

My strawberries from Marshall's arrived today.  Hope to plant this week weather permitting!

Another bed....

Two more beds weeded this morning.  Not many to go now! 

Today...

Popped up to weed and dig over the strawberry patch. Plus another bed and a barrow of earth from the communal heap to top up.  Need quite a few more of those!  Met Peter,  a fellow lotter and chatted about what he grows successfully and what he doesn't do so well in.. blueberry,  carrots.  So we will see how I do with my carrots next year!
