A job well done

We spent a good couple of hours here today with the help of Tony & Eileen. We managed to weed both plots which I would never have managed on my own as the potatoes had been slightly neglected and were fairly weed infested.

We managed to plant out our sweetcorn and leeks. With the leeks we trimmed the roots and soaked the whole leek in a bucket before planting out. We then made a 6 inch hole with a dibber, placed the leek in and filled the hole with water, trying not to get soil in the hole. Some of them we did not cut the roots off so will be interesting to see whether this makes a difference.
Throughout the late afternoon we could here a drone from the distance, I looked up and spotted a Lancaster on its way home. It flew right over us which was absolutely awesome. Evie loved it.

  1. I simply love your Lottie it is soo big.

    I have just taken on another plot next to my brother nick's.

    we bought a rotivator between the 4 of us on the lottie and is working very well.

    My garden borders the lottie so I get to keep the Rotivator in my shed.

    We have lots of young couples with very young children and it is lovely to see them working deligently at their plots. We all help them where needed.
