Green fingers...

Most of this weekend was taken up with the allotment, spring is a busy time for us gardeners.

We have planted most of our potatoes (again I over estimated the quantities and so I am going to borrow some space in a neighboring plot for the rest). We wanted to get them in now because we will be away on holiday (going to visit friends in Washington DC).

Quite a few new tenants have started at the site which is great to see. Everybody helps each other out with advice or physical assistance. I few of us helped a couple of blokes move their shed into place, someone else lent a mower and strimmer out so the paths could be tided up, and I was offered the space for my spuds.

I also tried my hand (now blistered) at DIY (Sue believes I should practice this away from the home). I scrounged some scrap wood and made a small cold-frame for seedlings. Looks quite good I think too.
