Thought it was about time I did another blog post....
I am getting a good harvest with every visit to the lottie at the minute, things are looking good :)
I made my first ever Jam, blackcurrant, it's been a great hit with the family and I got 4 jars, (2 large and 2 small) from 2 blackcurrant bushes.
Everything has shot up lately probably due to all of the nice weather we've been having.
Jessie is over the moon that her sunflowers have shot up and are actually taller than she is now!
Her flowers are looking good too.
We've been having fun with Janet and David's chickens (the plot holders next to us) they have loaned us a run, trusted us with a key and shown us how to pick up the chickens and get them onto our plot and back. They have been doing a great job on the chickweed and digging over the patch for the winter/spring veg. Jessie likes the white one best, she says it pulls funny faces and dances hehe...
Everything else on the plot is practically working itself, a good hoeing and watering and it tends to itself really.
Also, I bought myself a gas stove and whistling kettle to keep in the shed, no more nippy fingers in the autumn/spring, just nice hot coffee. I so can't wait to get it going!!
Ohhhhh, I almost forgot, I got an awesome complitment on the lottie the other day, a lady walked past as I was putting the french marigolds in and stopped me to say how well it was all looking, and that she always stops to look as it's her favourite plot :) I was over the moon.
Sorry the pics are a bit muddled, they won't sort out propperly for some unknown reason, perhaps I wont leave it so long next time...

It's all looking fabulous. Great months now aren't they when you can take armfuls of produce home with you.

ReplyDeleteIts fantastic, so addictive too! I've tasted nothing as good as home grown veg (especially peas and white turnips, yum) x
