    I'm back from the allotment trip.
    Exhausted doesn't quite cover it.
    Didn't get everything done that I wanted to.

    Planted seeds (beans, carrots, spring onion, lettuce, beetroot)

    Picked radishes, lettuce, peas, gooseberries, blackcurrants, loganberries, cherries, and lots of strawberries.
    Picked a gorgeous pink rose.

    Did some weeding and strimming the grass. Tried pulling up some more weed cover fabric.

    Watered the new seeds, the salad stuff and the peas. Gave the potatoes some water.
    Can't find the rose for the watering can.

    Said hello to the robin .

    It was although exhaustion dulls the sense of achievement.

    We try to fit in two sessions a week at this time of year - although I sometimes feel that in summer 12 hours a day, seven days a week wouldn't be enough!

    Allotments reap according to the amount of effort and time spent on them - and we don't give ours enough of either.
