Today I had an indulgent solo trip to the allotment. No children, no husband, no rush. It was delightful and completely productive. I dug over the parts of the beds that were getting planted in today, and planted out garlic, carrots, broad beans (after making a complicated support structure), lettuce, radish, chard and beetroot. Can you tell I was eager? The first of March and I planted everything that could possibly be planted in March!!!!
I also had time for a good tidy of the allotment plot. The children's toys were washed and moved into a better position and I worked out a way or stringing up garden canes off the ground. All rubbish was collected and all random tools were put back where they belong. It will last about 5 minutes into the next trip there but it looks so lovely for the moment.
I came back exhausted but happy. Husband made me a hot chocolate as I soaked in a bubble bath. Unfortunately, looking at the weather forecast, it is looking unlikely that we will get there again all week!!! Nevermind. Fingers crossed it doesn't rain too much. xxx
