Had to meet a man from the council pest control division at 11.30am. He dropped a 10Kg tub of rat poison off to be used at the allotments. Not a great fan of rat poison but some of the guys have chickens and we are close to houses so the rats must die!
Luckily I ain't seen any around so I don't personally have to use it.
I had allotmenteers around me like bees round a honey pot. Went back to work and returned to the allotments later when things had quietened down.
Mixed up three wheel barrow loads of my John Innes type compost and planted some more tomato plants in buckets. Only growing 3 Gardeners delight this year as I like to eat them straight from the vine only.....hence the name.
I have 10 Shirley, 10 Roma and 5 Tamina as well as the GD. When I'm feeling a bit more energetic I'll pot up some more Roma methinks.
Had my first strawberry from my plants in the greenhouse and must admit it was a bit bland!
Potted up four perennial caulis which had got leggy and been decimated by greenfly. Put a bit of soapy water on the greenfly but hope i haven't killed the plants. Put them in a sheltered spot to recuperate.
Watered all my indoor and some of my outdoor plants (like to grow them hard if I can, that way they will send down roots to find their own water). Most of the watering was done from the numerous water butts I have dortted around the plot
