Wet at last, all week the rain has been promised but very little has fallen here. It sort of seems like it has been skirting around us, in fact I have been concerned that the allotment was about to turn into a dust bowl. It seems a little annoying that when I has time to spend at the allotment I had to do it in this mornings showers. I still managed a three hour stint.
'Operation make sure the plot looks cultivated' is in full flow.
- I've done some digging
- I have also covered the area for the butternut squash with a mulch of horse poo, newspaper and grass clippings I plan to dig it in a few weeks
- planted out artichoke and cauliflower plants (spontaneous purchase they were in the 50p bargain bucket section of the garden centre)
- sown some mexican hats for a little flower border.

We've had nothing but rain here for almost a week solid. Lets hope we get some of your dry weather, it's not much fun trying to put a greenhouse up in blustery showers :(
We had rain and thunder and lightning here last week. The sun decided to come out just as I was due back in work!
