Finally got round to clearing the area round the pond noticed that froggy had taken up residence in the stone wall. Made it so I could get down the path past the sloes, three years and not 1 sloe for my gin feel a digging session coming on.

Drink the gin and leave the sloes to get on with it... at least it'll take your mind off worrying about them

Having a go at  making this bean chutney from the 3 lbs i picked yesterday 

[colleensj]

moved some herbs in the herb bed and took out a bit of dead stuff that didn't look nice, spent a while smelling everything and explaining to my deafblind son all the names and getting him to smell them to see if he will remember when I ask him again  ...lets see if he can remember the smell to the name of the herb.

Weeded my veggie beds (the weeds always seem to grow well     and watered.

Pulled some radish, lettuce, rocket and tomatos to go with our dinner tonight. 

Smiled at my chilli plant cos the fruits look lovely now......anxiously waiting for one to be pickable 

Also noticed some flowers on my late peas that I'm sure wasn't there yesterday

More digging on new allotment - one of my fellow allotment holders has given me some of his overgrown courgettes so came home with something to cook.

[vet]

Dug up the last of the pots, not a lot really, bit disappointed.

Watered and feed half the plot, will do rest tomorrow.

Picked a few DF & CF beans, some nice yellow toms, also some plum toms and some C & C. lettuce. Pulled half a dozen carrots and some celery, first time I've had either of these from the allotment so eager to try them. 
Blackberries still have loads on so having some for tea, but still waiting for the damsons to ripen

as the fox had trashed the debris netting again, I gave up and took it off 
Perhaps he will go and play on sommeone elses netting now and give me a break.

I'd rather have some holey cabbages survive than this endless flattening of them and the swede.  3 baby swede came home for tea, as the tops were completely snapped off

Lots of blackberries to pick in the morning

Last night I managed to get the rotavator on my plot for an hour or so ... my god thats hard work never used one before but by the time I had really got the hang of it, it was time for home. Anyway I have booked it for a full day next tuesday.

I did manage to rotavate three of my beds so I will be able to get my brassicas in when they arrive.  oh and turnips.

The the kale and sprouting broc and leeks I have in are doing fine and the kahlrabi carrots and lettuce are just showing on the seed bed.

Watered, picked some tomatoes then travelled three hours to get some wood zzzzzzzzz with husband (don't ask)!

[plum crumble]

had I gone to the lottie today, instead of staying indoors nursing a bad chest, I would have dug up the last of me spuds...will do that tomorrow if the rain stays away. Hopefully find some more blackberries. I am hoping someone tries to mention the C........s word so I can chuck them in the village pond outside the gates of the site. Or is that a little harsh?

[mumofstig]

sounds perfectly reasonable to me plum 

Hope you feel well soon, then you can 

[plum crumble]

 
Can you imagine the shock for someone? Just chatting and talking pleasantly about things, then mention the C word, and suddenly WHOOSH in they go!  Brilliant

[sunshineband]

It'd make me think very carefully before I spoke, I can tell you
