Well my Son Francis has done it again ! He knows that I 'am not up to much at the moment. So he has been other the plot all weekend and dug my potato trench's, and he's not done a to bad a job of it for his very first time left alone.
He just told me Friday night that he was going over the next day and did I mind! So that thank less task is now done. We went over this morning to see what he had done and were most pleased to see what he had done. I took a look at the compost heap and it looked ready to use so we did, So we have put it into the trenches and we still have enough left to put under our runner beans when we get around to it.
On Friday last week we put a few early potatoes in next to our neighbour's plot. At this time I can't remember what the potato was called, but I will find out and tell you how things turn out.
The weather over the weekend has made us think about the rotten trees we have all the way around our garden. The common name for this type of tree are tree of heaven more like tree of hell. I asked the local Council this morning if they could help and that was like trying to make tea in a chocolate tea pot. You know the type!! Yes.
I've spoken to a few people on line and they have given me telephone no. of tree fellers and I'm hoping to see what they can do. we really want something done as these trees are taking all the water from the garden and nothing will grow under them.
If the trees were gone we could then turn more of the back garden over to veg and fruit trees. This we wouldn't mind as we would be getting stuff out of the garden then as now nothing.
Well i say nothing in the High Summer we do get shade from them. But things have to change so we think the trees will go.
I'm hoping to go over to our allotment tomorrow so that I can put in a few onion set and pick some white broccoli which we have growing over there and that's the first time I've ever seen it.
Well I'll have to go now as I have made pasta from scratch for my family and so we will have a meat free meal today, I also hope to have a good few more of them as soon as we get to grips with it all. See ya take care. Nicky
