Mothers Day and a chance to get up the allotment in between a family swim and having a roast dinner. It doesn't get much better than that! The plum trees are coming into a beautiful white blossom at the back of our plot, a perfect shady area with bluebells and stinging nettles and weeds of course. I love the ramshackle part of it though. The kids went on a toy dinosaur hunt today and sat in the storage shed whilst we hid them. Whilst they were running around on a hunt Neil and I weeded and covered the potatoes which have started to come up. We placed on a third tyre to the boys potato project and weeded some more!
The boys made some new friends through a garden gate which backs onto our plot. The little girl on the other side of the wrought iron gate has a plot too so no doubt we will be seeing a lot of them. It was very sweet watching the boys close up to the gate and the girl on the other side chatting away. We attempted to create a makeshift wormery with an ice-cream tub and put some worms into some soil to see if they make new worms by the next time we visit.
A quick watering of the potatoes and herbs and we were ready to potter home muddy and ready for roast dinner. Bliss.
