What I did today 2012-2014

[Bill HH]

I am going to ruthlessly take everything in our spare room to either the charity shop, book bank or the tip.

I ruthelessly cleared our my garage recently, there was'nt a single thing in there that i had not deemed to " be usefull one day". I did not then appreciate the guy helping me constantly saying "Surely your not chucking this away" I started pulling stuff back off the pickup. In the end my wife had to restrain me as the pickup drove off. I must find out where he took it

Collected a big Ikea bag full of seaweed from the beach yesterday. Today chopped it up and spread it as a thick mulch on next year's potato bed. Am trying to wean my plot off manure, after reading so many posts saying you don't need it!

Popped up briefly to plot, I think the council has dumped a very large pile of leaves just outside, so I filled some black sacks, will fill some more tomorrow.

- was gifted 2 sacks of leaves from a mystery neighbour
- also collected another 8 sacks this week from the pavements & bike lanes, where they're left to form a mucky, slimy slippery mess

Made an oxtail stew with home produce carrots parsnips potatoes and onions. Bally delicious for cold winter evenings.

Popped down the allotment to dig up another batch of J artichokes. Lottie neighbour gave me two blackberry plants, tips that had routed Had to plant them double quick, it had started raining and little dog was shivering piteously!

Planting out pumpkins and zuchinni, frosts can be expected!
Picking lettuce and broad beans.

Yesterday popped to the allotment to collect tools from the shed, OH cut back the buddleia and I pottered about in the garage (my potting shed) and ferried cuttings to the compost heap in the nearby woods. Too much 'hard' material for the garden compost heap.

Outdoors all I did was to rake up the leaves and add them to the wire bin.

Finally got around to taking down my runner beans then cleaning and storing the canes.

Swept up all the fallen fig leaves and unripe fruit - filled half a big builder's bag. Its worth having just for the leaves
Scraped moss from the paths - as it tends to hold the ice when there's frost - and we don't like slippy paths
Ate a mangetout - my reward for being good

Managed to get to the allotment with littlest helper (just two years old). We picked curly kale and Cavalo Nero, pulled a baby carrot and a very small celeriac (about the size of a tennis ball). We listened to the birds while Nanny had a fag, and we pulled a leek before heading home for a cup of tea (for me) and a chocolate bar (for Evie).

It was too wet,grey, foggy here to go to plot, so made a walnut cake instead, not so healthy, but nice !

Managed to get 2 blue barrels to use as water butts. Collected them and took them to the lottie.
While I was there, I laid down some cardboard and spread manure over the top. Will have to finish off asap!!!!
