Saturday 4th July
How fast do these bloody weeds want to grow? I turn my back for thirty seconds and i am confronted with a bloody jungle of bind weed and bloody dock leaves!
Spent most of the morning weeding and watering, but also ripped out my dwarf bean canes as there was no sight of them doing anyting after two months int he ground. Replaced them with a whole load of brocoli, clabrese rather than purple sprouting! Haven't abandonded my dwarf beans totally though, I have planted some up in a pot on the patio just to see if i can get a few.
Went to see Roy (my favourite allotment buddy) and have asked for the generator for 10th July. We are fence building so next time you see our lottyment we might just have a fence!!! woohoo all mod cons and everything!
Had our first baby beetroot Wednesday night - yum yum. they were lovely, going to leave the rest to get bigger for roasting - might plant another lot soon so i have some baby beets for pickling at the end of the year (ooooohhhhhh how domesticated!!!)
Not seen rita for a long while, think that rat poison i put down may have worked :(
