Walking: miserable Milford

A wet & windy, dull & dowdy day... outside though!

Lotty 'llots

Coupla cheap bags o'shallots (Golden Gourmet, Red Sun), cell-sown, & planted in lotty shadehouse. 

They got away nicely, but the 12-odd weeks of hot, sunny, dry demanded repeated watering, resulting in panning of the clay soil &, in essence, build-up of soil atop the clumps... swelling was limited. The surface compost layer demanded by No-dig is likely to be the answer!  

Eurosceptics were no more bothered by the issue of how an ex-member state might manage relations with Brussels than arsonists are interested in what to do with ashes...

Blackcurrant decoration

Look Spot, a knobhead. Watch the knobhead work.

Now, this is decorative...

'Twas a pig to clear up... & God knows about painting over! So, we did this...

Lotty

Love the 'non-productive' side of allotmenting too...
