More lovely Spring sunshine- perfect for an afternoon up at the allotment. The plots were a hive of activity today and we managed to chat to quite a few of our new neighbours.
We were very busy and planted two pear trees, two gooseberry bushes, garlic and onions.
Like many bloggers, I am extremely camera-shy but I can just about cope with this one, given you can't see my face! Here's me measuring up my rows for the onions...
One of our beautiful pear trees begining to bud...
My dad treated me to these very beautiful and special new hand tools. I think they look so pretty hanging up their with the light coming through the shed window...
I noticed that someone actually has an Anderson shelter on their plot- I am green with shed envy!
We all stayed until sunset and then headed home for baths and supper.
I'm looking forward to watching the last episode of South Riding tonight as well as getting on with some more costume preparation for Flora's Narnia party next weekend- there's so much left to do!
Hope you have all had glorious sunny Sundays too xx
wow, love the last photo. you looked fab in your warm cardi and CK wellies.
ReplyDeleteYou look a lot more glam than I do when I'm at the allotment!
ReplyDeleteWithout wanting to sound like the voice of doom, check if there has been any trouble with break ins before leaving anything precious in the shed. Sadly allotments can attract troublemakers, we've had a bit of overnight trouble at ours.
Thanks both- check out my muddy knees- not so glam!
ReplyDeleteWhere we live generally has a very low crime rate, but there was a couple of break-ins last year for the first time. We're not leaving anything very valuable up there, but maybe you're right- I will go back and collect my precious new wooden hand tools tomorrow- seems a shame to not be able to leave them there, but I would be very sad if they were to be taken x
Hooray for the warm weather eh! - We spent time digging at our allotment too - nothing in the ground yet though, but it was so good to get back there.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks lovely. Perfect allotment weather today. I too have been watching South Riding!!! x
ReplyDeletelovely photos... dreamy sunset. We were there also today, weeding & digging. Got some broad beans in. Its all getting exciting, shame I feel fluey!
ReplyDeleteThe photos in this post are stunning!!! You look lovely, the sweater is great : )
ReplyDeleteOh it's great to be able to get back to allotment life again, isn't it? we're going for raised beds this year. yours seem rather spiffing
ReplyDeleteFabulous sunset and gorgeous pictures of the allotment. I occasionally don the gardening gloves and sort out my plants but I'm not a big gardener!
