I went down to the lottie on Thursday evening to do some watering. The weather has been really warm and I am determined the Carrots are to grow so I am watering them every day. Whilst I was there I thought I would edge another mini-veg bed along the drive. We have another youth who wants to try their hand at allotmenting. As usual I got carried away and completed the three beds we had bought timber for instead of just the one that was required for the weekend. It does make the border look tidier and it is another job off my list.
I only went to do watering so I was wearing my work clothes; shirt and jeans. An hour and half of hammering, sawing and screwing timber together made me quite hot and a bit disheveled. When I got home I turned the shirt inside out and hid the ex-white shirt in the laundry pile. I hope H overlooks the shirt on wash day.
I have been fretting about the Asparagus crowns I put in last year. I was not convinced they had survived the winter. Last weekend there were small tips pushing through the soil. Was this the Asparagus at last? No doubt about the answer, today the stalks are between six and eight long. Every crown I put in last year has made it. H wanted to try some. She was disappointed to find out she will have to wait until this time next year for the first crop.
