The Wind is Back in my Lottie Sails

[Shortie]

Woooooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooooooo

I took on my lottie 2 Septembers ago and haven't had a good go at it before this year. The first year I had it, we had a huge medical upheaval in our first son 1 month after taking it one and I'd only dug 1/3 of the plot over. I then fell pregnant the following month so up to last summer nothing happened to the plot really

Anyhow, my Dad (8LGM) took over the digging for me (and now officially co-owns the plot) and I have a second (smaller) plot which we'll hopefully be rotivating soon.

Mr Shortie, the kids and I went down yesterday to put up the runner bean supports and water and besides the sturdy onion family that have been going strong since winter, I found we had the following direct sown stuff germinating and looking really healthy since last time I went:

Potatoes - lurvely long rows sprouting up
Broadies - 100% germination there
Peas - 90-95% germination - dead chuffed seeing as I had not a single pea germinate last year

I feel so motivated again, isn't it a fab feeling?????

There's quite simply nothing better than being outside in the sunshine and pottering on your plot!

Couldnt sleep for the sun coming into the bedroom window. So I got up and have been up to the lottie, I was there at 6.15am it was fab. I got all the beans and cabbages out of the polytunnel to start hardening them off. I sat on the bench and surveyed my lottie and made plans. I have come home and had a cup of coffee and now I am ready for the day. Oooh lovely.

Ooo Catrina I envy you! I'd gladly get up early to get down the lottie before work but I don't think my two boys would appreciate my efforts (Mr Shortie leaves for work at 6am so can't sit in with them either)

However I have gained myself a home-pass to allow me on the lottie after work for half an hour, twice a week on the way home from work wooo hoo! Mr Shortie offered that he might even come with me and give me a hand *passes out with shock*
