You have done it again and given your audience a body swerve by changing the name of your Blog. You can run but you cannot hide! I have caught up on you at last.
The weather here has taken a remarkable turn for the better and the sun is even shining. It is still a tad cold in he late afternoon and evening but it is a million times more comfortable than the snow. Remind me, when is the great day?
Have you ordered remembered to invite the other allotmenteers? Do you have enough of that "stuff" you drink - bitter is it?
I have been out most of the day tidying my patch - lots of bumblebees around and even a butterfly. Oh and I had a visit from a beefly too. Very nice as I record them for our web site. It was Bombylius major - the only one we get this far north. I have planted the Lupins I collected as seed from Drumochter Pass and 2 have germinated out of the first 5 I have potted up. The anticipation is killing me but as they only flower in the second year I think I am going to have to be as patient as you with your plastic.
Hi Jimmy. Yeah, sorry about that :o) I thought that you'ld find me okay though. It dawned on me (when working on the Allotment Association blog - see my profile) that I didn't need the 'chronicles' bit on the url. Makes it shorter and more straightforward when telling folk about it.
The great day happened on the 24th (look for the :o) as a post title) and I'm fairly pleased with the results. I'm finding it much easier to turn over without having the grass roots to contend with - plenty of the other target perennials are still there though :o(
One other allotment holder witnessed the moment I began to 'unwrap' the plot. Not much of an occasion after all (I'm glad to say) :o)
I took my first can of the brown stuff up there this evening. I'm thinking I enjoyed my flask of tea as much though :o)
I mean this year to make a study of the insects and other bugs that visit the site - a beefly is one of those that I hope to recognise when I see it from reading about them in the past. I can't say that I've had the luck to notice them before.
Glad to know that you found me again - no more tinkering with the url, I cross my heart! :o)
