Today was slightly different, normally we get to the allotment and what we planned to do is superseded by another job because we see manure, leaf mold or wood chip on the way to our allotment. This then means that job takes priority and we then get on with what we originally went to do. This was the reverse today, our lass finally got to plant some raspberry canes which have took a second time of asking for them to arrive. I collected the wildlife camera (disappointed as the damp weather has foggied the lense) and our lass put some feed out for the birds. It was a cold day, so it was back off to the warm.
Just as we were leaving a car which had been parked had left, which revealed a pile of fresh bark chippings. Which meant from impromptu return to the allotment. I grabbed the spade and barrow and our lass her trusty rake. We now have a fresh layer on the pathway, which makes it look neater and helps level out the bumps and hollows in the path.
Out next big job is the our lasses green house roof, first of all we need to find a way to fix it, also needs a calm and clear day, guess we can count them using two fingers between now and next spring.
Last of the canes in, gritted for drainage, lets hope they fruit in the future.
Before
After
A little bark chipping between the compost and the blueberries/logan berries
Looking sharper, it was starting to get muddy especially with sorting the compost bins out.
Our lass said I had earned my Kit Kat
Noticed the fungi on the bottom of an old tree stump we have
Next job, answers on a postcard, on how to fix?
