discombobulated

Quote
from Vocabulary.com
adjective

Definition: confused and disconcerted

Synonyms: confused, disconcerted

Tips: Discombobulated is both confused (puzzled, perplexed) and disconcerted (stressed and agitated). Most people are discombobulated after an accident.

 

It's a good'un I reckon  :lol:

Very good, but not stressed or agitated though. Allotments should be anything but...

We have a forecast for snow showers overnight Tuesday so there's going to be fleece on the plot I think.

At least over the carrots and radish which are just showing through. Everything else will just have to take pot luck as most stuff was only put out yesterday so won't be showing.

Stuff that's always there - rhubarb, strawberries, raspberries, sage, thyme, mint and a dwarf kale that survived being eaten by flea beetles 3 times...

Onion sets and seeds, and garlic from Nov
Onions and garlic from March
Sowed 3 types of carrot, 2 of parsnip, purple French beans and salad leaves.
Also Desiree, Maris Piper and some funny coloured spuds
Peas are on my windowsill, as are tomatoes, peppers and basil

Bit scared to put the peas out as there's frost forecast this week, but they're taking over!

So far... garlic, onions, parsnips, peas and radishes.

Then the things that stay there all the time like cherry trees, plum tree, apple tree, raspberries, strawberries, rhubarb, sage, rosemary, lavender.

Everything for harvest has been lifted now.
