Called in at plot supposedly just to drop off some cardboard. Why not just lay what you have direct thinks I?.......so I did. I just laid it on weedy paths
Sod it I thought while I am here I might as well do a bit.
Started by lifting some beetroot for my next door neighbour who really enjoyed the last lot I gave them. This made a bit of space and after a quick hoe I planted 25 red onion sets I got from Poundland. I wasn't going to bother with reds this year so it was a bit of an impulse buy. I them covered what I had planted with grass cuttings as a mulch and to hopefully stop the birds from pulling them out.
Next I harvested three courgettes which surprisingly are still producing. I then had my breakfast which was a freshly picked corn on the cob!
Inspired, I decided to pull all the leaves and stalks off my rampant Confrey and compost them. I then tickled over the border I had spuds in to make sure I had got them all. Once raked level I then dibbereed in a load of leeks I had waiting in the wings. I hope my family like leeks as I have far too many for me alone as my photo shows.
I had a bit of a re-arrangement in the greenhouse and remebered to shut the greenhouse door this time.
After a chat with an allotment neighbour I was given a small pumpkin (he must have about 20 and says he will just compost them
I might try cooking it similar to a squash with the top cut off and filled with a savoury mix of some sort?
Took a few piccies when I was there, relevant to what I did today!
