Lack of updates this year are kind of indicative of how much attention the allotment is getting I’m afraid. We’ve been selling our house and hubby has been away on business an awful lot so with a full time job and 11 animals to look after, I’ve barely found time to water, let alone weed or doing any real work at the lottie. I am pretty embarassed by it to be honest and have taken to going round to do the watering when I am pretty certain that nobody else is going to be there!
It has however managed to yield a pretty good crop of around 300 onions and our strawberries were a triumph – but right now the plot looks almost disused. If it weren’t for the tomatoes in the greenhouse and the distinct rows of cabbages and potatoes in amongst the weeds – a passerby might be forgiven for thinking it was a plot going spare….actually it is me that is going spare everytime I look at it!
I have started a new little venture in anticipation of our move back to the rural idyll that will be our new home… have a look at www.raggedhome.etsy.com
