Just gone back to school after having a whole week off for half term.
I went up to look at my new half plot and then didn't venture up the plot again!!
Had been very ill before half term with Swine Flu and felt generally weak and tired but really felt bad at not getting up there.
Will make an effort this weekend as long as it isn't raining so hard as it did this Sunday.
I am a hardy soul but not daft enough to go out in that sort of weather.

Have had a very stressful year, what with school closure, son being ill, hubbie being ill, looking for new job etc etc!!
However have been on Summer hols now for three weeks and am starting to feel benefit of this as beginning to relax.
Just decorated my new office ready for the school year so have a nice place to work, if there is such a thing.
Lottie to be honest haven't done as much as would have liked, combination of weather, exhaustion and so many other things to do....

I think i bought a some sort of proton accelerator not a heated propogator from B and Q, reason being i can almost see the seeds growing in front of my eyes! Courgettes, squash and cucumbers are little seedlings in days, amazing.

Jobs got done Saturday.
I put in two more raised beds, weeded one, put in seeds for radish, spring onions, beetroot, leaf beat and rainbow chard.
Weeded between my onion and shallot sets, put in some broad bean plants and lots of strawberry plants donated by the old fella on the next plot to me. Sweet.
Got in home and potted on all my seedlings of corn, french runner beans and squash and planted up some courgette seeds and popped those into my heated propogator.
Found...
