Mothering Sunday

As you can imagine getting to the lottie on Sunday was a non-starter. I had promised to do a guest appearance as a Plumber for a friend on Saturday and there was the standing commitment to collect poo. With all that to pack in over the weekend the lottie never stood a chance.

I bagged the poo and loaded the bin at the lottie. I then did the Plumbing thing for the rest of the day. Sunday was spent travelling to and from Shrewsbury, land of the in-laws and lunch in the Harry Hotspur.

The evenings are getting lighter so I took the opportunity to nip to the lottie on Monday and bag a couple of bucket fulls of the well rotted manure. I needed some for the front garden so H can plant her bulbs. It is a bit late but the bulbs are growing in the bag out of earth so they only need a nice place to live to flower. The bit of the front garden designated for bulbs is very sandy. Four tubs of manure have set the soil straight. It is a bit on the sandy side but good enough.

One of the Garlic bulbs from last year started sprouting so I have broke it up and planted it in compost. I will probably give them away later in the year.

I am still waiting for the fruit trees. The bed is not yet prepared. I hope to do that this weekend coming.
