October Update Video

By hook or by crook I was going to get to the allotment this Sunday one way or another, as I have not been down to do any work for the last three weeks. According to the weather forecast there was supposed to be light rain showers over night but they were supposed to be gone between 6 - 7am. it didn't quite work out that way!

With the clocks going back it was idea for an early start, but the rain had other ideas. Good job I could tidy things up in the shed and make a cup of coffee. Then as soon as the rain stopped it was all systems go!

Whilst extracting the carrots, I looked down on what I thought was going to be a massive specimen, I had visions of a huge giant Bugs Bunny type carrot coming out of the ground. what I got looked more like a stubby hand.

  
I have to say I was gutted, but also amused at nature, as it looked so massive from the top when it was in the ground.  

Another Scorching Sunday

Here is a Video Update made on the allotment this morning 

Once you get too hot working on the allotment there is nothing quite like sitting in the shade with your back against the shed looking down the plot at the beds you have sown, weeded, harvested from and eating one of your juicy apples freshly picked off one of your three apple trees, enjoying the quiet and tranquility of a Sunday morning on the plot.
