Morning On The Allotment

Broccoli Purple Rain.

Allotment in the morning today as I had things to do and people to see in the afternoon. So about 3 hours of potting up vegetables and planting bunches of spring onions in Square Foot Gardening Bed 2.

Six Broccoli Purple Rain Plants

8,081 steps on my Fitbit by the time I made this post. I need to get fit for my impending surgery to make me a new jaw out of my hip thanks to the tumour I've named George because the biopsies are not providing the information needed to determine just what kind of tumour George actually is and thus give it a name. All they have said so for is it's not showing as a known cancer, and that I'm an enigma wrapped up in a mystery, and we will need yet another biopsy or two!

The batteries in the bottom right are in a solar charger and I have two sets of batteries one in the DAB Radio in the potting shed and the other set on charge courtesy of the sun.
