The weekend before my "holiday"

Work has been manic and the allotment has been suffering. I do not normally get to the lottie during the week but now I have to contend with shortening days and wet weather as well as being mentally exhausted. Saturday was wet so I spent a large part of the day finishing off processing the honey and cleaning all the equipment. I ended up needing to finish off a jar of H's Strawberry jam to jar the very last of the honey. Sunday was a drier day. I went to the lottie in Steve's landy. I dug up a row of spuds which were well filled. After the spuds I cleared some more of the weeds in Bed3. A vicious shower put an end to the days activities at the lottie. I have a just about two foot of the bed to clear.

H sent a few ours at the lottie one day last week and cleared weeds from the cabbage bed, which was nice. I must had to put H's weeding in the compo bin.

I had a look at the grapes. They are very nearly ready. The books say I have to wait until the leaves turn colour. We are promised frost next week so that will surely make the leaves turn.
