And lets be honest everything always feels better when its sunny.

For us the past few days for us have been spent catching up with jobs we've been putting off.
 |
| Lots of weeds to dig out |
 |
| Now its neat rows of potatoes planted |
Lots of allotment jobs have been done.
Which is as frustrating as anything for me as I can't do the digging etc that I want to.
 |
| Even more potatoes and peas are planted Shed loads of garlic |
And even a little planting at home too.
 |
| Asparagus is starting to grow too. |
I still have the chicken run to sort but I'm hoping to have it done by the end of the week.
Then at least I can try to repair my poor lawn!
 |
| This needs to be dug over now and the fruit cage to sort. Still a fair bit to do! |
Lets hope this sunshine stays with us a while.
Total listed now sits at 450
(yet another 10 added today)
Still 550 to go
I wonder if I can get to the half way mark by the end of this week?
Total Sales £739
(£14 added from 3 more sales)

It looks like you had some lovely treats for Mothers Day. Your flowers are beautiful. Congratulations on winning the lovely prize; what a super surprise. Your allotment looks great and I would love to keep chickens too. The thought of fresh eggs; yum! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel, I was so chuffed. The allotment is coming on well now but as we have just taken on a different one its harder work. Chickens are lovely and the eggs are divine.

aww you got some great gifts, I am loving the sun, my garden is lovely and sheltered but living by the sea the breeze is still a wee bit chilly!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine it would be with the sea breeze. Still I bet the views are beautiful.

Hi! I'm new to your blog, popped over from Jo's - whose wonderful prize you won! - hope that you are enjoying your gardening activities. I look forward to reading along with you as you get up to more things! xx
ReplyDeleteHi Amy,
DeleteWelcome to the mad house. I was very pleased with my win, smiled all day long.

You did well, so many lovely gifts! Chris is spending all his time at the allotment at the moment, there is just so much to be done this time of year... x
ReplyDeleteYour not kidding Sophie, its always at this time of year that people tend to give up the allotments as it can be a little overwhelming. That said its would the hard work when all the lovely fruit and veg is on your plate.
DeleteX x
I hope you aren't overdoing it!
ReplyDeleteYour girls are lovely. A credit to you.
I'm not honest Caroline. They all mother me up at the lottie and at home so I wouldn't be allowed too.
DeleteI think the girls are lovely but then I am a little bias, lol

You're right, everything feels better when the sun shines. Lovely gifts and cards from your family, too x
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it. The sun is shining beautifully again today. Its lovely to enjoy a cuppa in the sun.

Awww, thank you for the mention, and of course I don't mind you borrowing my photo. I've done the most stupid thing and missed the Post Office today. I don't know which day we're on with it being half term and I forgot that the Post Office has a half day closing today. I promise I'll get your prize in the post tomorrow. What lovely gifts you got from your family, and still a new purse to come. I saw a gorgeous one in Debenhams a couple of weeks ago but didn't have any spare pennies to buy it. Never mind, I'll put it on my Christmas wish list. This weather's been great for getting some outdoor jobs done. I love it once the clocks have gone forward as we get some extra time on an evening to pop down to the allotment. I've got my first early spuds planted but the rest are yet to go in.
ReplyDeleteI'm desperate to get some asparagus planted this year - I am going to pop to the garden centre and hopefully get some crowns which I cna plant right away as I know it's almost too late - where is this year going?!
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to the asparagus season around here as our soil is so sandy, it tastes delicious.
ReplyDeleteLovely gifts - you are obviously very well appreciated.
Nice photos! I especially love those of your blooms! Colors are so vivid abd crisp! #WordlessWednesday
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day- (our is in May I think) and happy sunny days! What a difference it makes to feel the lovely warmth of the sun on one's face, arms and soul. I soaked up some much needed Vitamin D this weekend- oh it really was a treat!
