Broken through 1000 visits

Hurrah! Over 1000 visits now.

I didn't make it to the plot today. I had some very lovely friends over for lunch (which included salad potatoes, broad beans and marrow from the allotment) and when I was about to leave the house afterwards to visit the allotment, the heavens opened. It brightened up later in the evening so I did partake of some potting up and seed sowing in the garden.

I potted up the chard and brassicas that had been sitting in trays and sowed some parsley and sorrel. A bit late for sorrel according to the packet but I'd really like to try some. I then stripped back the Garden Pearl tomatoes, just like I did yesterday with the plants on the plot in Bed 7. I staked them up with bamboo canes too. I will give them a feed shortly. While my hands were dirty, I pulled up the lemongrass clump that has been growing not that successfully in a pot on the patio. Some very thin foliage and very little happening underneath the soil. I stripped back some dead bits and divided the clump into 4 pieces. I potted each piece up and have put these in the lean-to. I'll see what happens. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I hope to visit the plot after work tomorrow to do a bit of hoeing. Might have a courgette to harvest from Bed 9 too.
