On the plot at last
Today has been lovelly out, clear blue skies, little breeze, and just sunny enough not to need a coat on.
Ive got the spuds in, 2 rows of desiree maincrop, 2 rows of kestrel 2nd earlies, and 4 rows of arran pilot 1st earlies. I had far too many seeds, so now am looking for someone who can make use of my remaining 2 dozen arrans. 5kg is too much for my plot along with the others (2kg of each) so perhaps next time just 3-4kg of them will do. Each row is neatly labelled with a wooden marker. I took the liberty at one point of just sitting down and enjoying the day, listening to the birds, and watching the 7spot ladybugs wandering around near the garlic.
I picked a load of the brocolli as well, and blanched then froze it for Julie to have for her tea sometime. It was quite amazing the number of boiled aphids i ended up with, that had been hiding within the heads, but thats just a bit of extra protein.
A chap at work has lent me a niger seed feeder to have a go with. Hes very into his birdwatching and conservation. So, i popped to Hillam for some seed. Bearing in mind the size of the feeder (big) and the size of the £1.60 bags of seed (small) i got two bags. Well, just over half a bag filled it! so i hope the birds find it and like it, 'cos theres plenty left
