So, not only does my camera have a rather nifty panorama mode but I sit next to Rob at work who knows a few tricks on how to use it. The above picture is a 360 degree view of plot 118 and I think it looks pretty neat!

We had a really great long day at the allotment today and got tons done. Pilla planted lots in the greenhouse (cucumbers, kale, pumpkins, celery and a few types of flowers) and more outside on the old plot including beetroot, lettuces and carrots and peas. We’ve really caught up on the April sowing now, with almost all of it done.

We set up a few of the structures on plot 118, moving the munty and pea frame and setting up a length of wire fence for the peas. Whilst Pilla was busy doing the sowing I planted the main crop potatoes in the ground that last year was the huge soil mound.

Bob very kindly gave us use of his rotavator which made quick work of the soil where we had the green manure and also up the side where the pea frame was. I also had a good weed of the whole plot and even had time to sweep the path – the whole plot is looking pretty decent now, and touch wood we seem to be on top of the weeds just before the wedding (they will come back I know, but right now, we might as well enjoy it!).
Now, where is that aftersu, I think I might have some sunburn coming on….
