Ay caramba!

Wow, 3 hours peace at my allotment, it must have been a while because I managed to achieve so much. What a state it had become.

Nothing a mow and clearing couldn't fix.

Raspberries are continuing to come and they are gorgeous to pick at (leaving some for our friends the birds of course). Still had some Courgettes to pick and we have 3 little Pumpkin 'Baby Bear' ripening away. I think my Sweetcorn 'Mini pop' has been left too long so it is neither mini or magnificent! Still, I always start with good intentions and this year it got away with me.

Rooster Potatoes have been good to me this year and Neil popped up to help harvest those (quiet Monday morning for him and he really hasn't been digging for soooooooo long, he loved it!).

What with my new career progressing and two growing boys who wear me out I haven't been to the plot quite as much as I would have liked but thinking about the possibility of packing it in, I just can't. I even asked Neil if I was mad spending my spare time weeding like I do all week anyway!

It is my little space to do with what I wish, no client to worry about, no lines to follow, I love it's higgledy ways and the surprises that pop up. I shall be continuing with whatever comes my way and if it gets neglected from time to time,  it just makes time there up there more special.

A real treat.
