Another warm March day

Well the weather this weekend had been glorious. Been busy at the Lotty. I have dug 2 of my beds and got lots of the stones out although there is still lots left in.

To My delight when I arrived 2 old guys had rebuilt my wind damaged shed and they have done a really good job. Thanks guys you are great. I just had to put all my stuff back in and tidy round a little.

I planted some of my leeks today. They look ok hope they last. The tomatoes, cucumber, courgette and strawberrys are all coming on in my little greenhouse at home I may take them to the Lotty soon but am worried there there is not much water in my butts.

My peas have started growing. I didn't even notice until I had visitors on the plot and they looked in my pound land covers. I may have to buy some more of these they have proved to be really good.

The clocks went forward today so I am planning on going to the lottie after work a few nights. My next job will be to paint my shed.

Mad March

It's been a glorious weekend and been really busy down the Lotty.

Yesterday I planted my potatoes. I decided that I would plant them in bags so that i could find them all when they are ready for harvest. I found the bags in Home Bargains for 99p each.

Today I have been busy again. My lovely dad helped me to put up my poly tunnel. Can't wait to start growing in it. I bought it off eBay for £45 so if it doesn't last it won't be a travesty. We decided to bury the poles which meant that the cover was a little big. We dug a trench and buried the sides but it does seem a little baggy. I hope it doesn't blow away.

No pictures today but hope to be down there in the week so will take plenty then.
