Allotment day -2 - We made fire

We got to the allotment today. We had a fire. I have tried three times to get the pictures in the correct order but failed. 

The top picture is a bucket full of rhubarb. There was so much, it certainly took some digging out. Lots of it was rotten so these live bits will be replanted and we will see what we get from them.

We managed to find enough old carpet tiles amongst the weeds to make a boundary pathway between us and the next plot, their plot is a bit wild as they have just started a family so time is short and they’ve not been there often. 

Our plot is at the back of the site so we have no one behind us, just a wide grass pathway which the council keep cut.  They also trim the hedges which is good. 

In the second picture you can see Peter starting to dig out weeds along the communal pathway that divides our plot from the adjoining one.  I think we will possibly put in some fruit bushes along there or maybe I’ll have that part for my flower patch.  

It was a good mornings work. Good to come home and get clean and smoke free.  Clothes washed. Late lunch. 

We have treated ourselves to a collapsible trolley for carting tools, chairs etc as we are trying not to use the car but realised we can’t carry everything we need.  It will come in handy for family trips to the beach etc so dual purpose.

I’m off to the Knitting and Stitching show tomorrow with Rachel. Hopefully I’ll have some goodies to share with you.
