[binner]

[Kleftiwallah]

Me and 'er just got back from the allotment , I planted 100 shallots, 20 each of Red Sun, Blue Moon, Topper, Picasso and Golden Gourmet. The memsaab did a cracking job crearing a bed of old cabbages, kale and wiggly parsnips.

The weather was a bit breezy and rising with just a hint of rain in the air. Back home to sardines on toast and a cuppa.      Glad I've got the beggars in. Cheers,. Tony.

Ooooh sardines on toast -not had that for years! Scrumptious.
Went on allotment today and cleared another 2mx 1m area, heeled in a blackcurrant until I can decide where he is going (he's called Ben Nevis so he is a he)  ,divided a rhubarb (massive roots on it) and transferred all muck to my muck heap, which will have pretty box containers around it soon (please Mr VVG). Hope weather holds off for tomorrow so I can plant shallots in newly cleared area. Soil is drying out beautifully in this wind, black and luscious, crumbly too and I even brought it home in my fingernails (now had a scrub)!

Nearly forgot - pruned currants and tied up loganberry to wires.

Too windy to do anything outdoors realy, was going to finish off greenhouse but it is so windy it would probably blow away

So instead i sowed some toms and more sweet peas and bought soem seed spuds to chit for a while.

Hopefully tomorow will be less windy and allow me to finish the greenhouse

[rainbow1]

Rather than being blown to bits I:
- started my sweet potato tubers to sprout
- decided what tubers I want to get at the East Anglian Potato Day (12 February)
- sorted all my seeds into sowing date order and decided what I'm going to sow tomorrow
- started a fresh sowings spreadsheet for this year
- wrote a list of what I need to do on the plot. (It's very long!)

Paid my annual plot fees and scarpered ..... boy was it windy!

[grendel]

no plot today as I had flu yesterday and she who must be obeyed wanted me within sight. but I did get a plum tree planted  in the front garden, a redcurrant bush in a big pot in the back garden and weeded the overgrowing bits sticking out over the path at the front of the house through our fence.

[plum crumble]

well if you were able to do all of that Grendel, it was MAN FLU what you had, not flu....    

[mumofstig]

my thoughts exactly plum 

I've still got a bit of a cough from the flu I had at Christmas couldn't eat/hardly moved out of bed for a few days.............. let alone garden 

[Thrift]

Wish we could only get the male version of flu

I reckon it was a 24 hour virus, when I got home I was so cold that I was in bed fully dressed with 2 winter quilts over me still shivering - it was about 4 hours before my temperature let me feel warm.
