That's the only frog who's visited our pond this year - he's from Jamie's dad, so nice to have him on our plot.
What an amazing Easter weekend - yesterday we saw some of the canoeists in the Devizes to Westminster race and Hungerford was nicely crowded. But today was a plot day. We were on a mission to clear Plot46A...
Eurgh, what a mess of chickweed, deadnettle, fumitory and various leftover veg from last year.
Aah, that's better. And now it's covered in weed suppressant fabric, so we're good neighbours again!
Meanwhile, our poor marigolds in the polytunnel couldn't survive the 39.9° temperature - I really hope they recover!
When we arrived at the site someone had left some seedlings in the polytunnel for us. Thinking they were Antirrhinum (Snap dragon) from Ivan I dutifully plotted them on into individual pots. Only later did I discover that they were in fact a mix of Rocket and Pak Choi from Malcolm - duh, I'm blaming the heat!
We were pleased to see that the weather has encouraged the grassed communal area to grow. Hopefully the grass will overcome the weeds which are also very happy.
Kula Shaker provide the great song and we're expecting another amazing sunny day tomorrow - hooray!
If it’s not too hot it’s too cold for seedlings isn’t it. Temperatures were still fairly cold overnight.
ReplyDeleteI know! Since having an allotment we're rarely completely happy with the weather!
