Did an all dayer on Sunday. Nope not boozing, though the previous two days had been an alcoholic haze. My excuse is I’m an uncle. My sister has just had a little boy and I can’t wait till he’s old enough to hold a rake.
Arrived at the plot and it was mega overgrown, so got down to it and cleared most of it up in a mammoth weeding and strimming session. Rob was up in the Dales the lucky sod.
Dug up some turnips that we’d left for dead while weeding and had 6 courgettes and some nice lettuce to take home. There’s peas a few weeks away from a sunday roast and we now have some tomatoes. All looking good.
I’ve dug over and replanted the turnip and parsnip plot and staked the peas up better. We’re still searching for the ultimate pea frame though – for the second year we’ve got plants lolling over each other like they’d drunk as much as I did Friday.
