My husband has been rather absent lately. Work stuff and a course etc.. means that I have been on sole parenting duty for weeks. So today I went on Mummy strike and left the children with husband. A lovely wander around the garden centre for some new gardening gloves and some garlic and onions. I then (after a cheeky McD's) went to the allotment. The strawberries have gone mad, so I pulled out the courgettes, pulled out a few runners, and had to compost the rest. I dug over that bed, then dug over the next bed where the carrots and peas were, I then picked the remainder of of the runner beans, and pulled all the bean plants out, sorted the canes, and then dug over the bean bed. Finally I dug over the salad bed, then planted the garlic and onion in that bed.
Upon returning home, I planted as many of the strawberries as I had pots, podded the dried out beans, and sorted the rest for drying, and made a roast dinner. I am exhausted. Tomorrows jobs include pickling the beetroot. I need a nice cold beer and an early night.
