First allotment visit of 2023


Firstly apologies if this post ends up flaky. I'm working on a new laptop. I'm used to working on a desktop computer with a mouse and where I am used to where all the keys are. Now I am using a strange laptop where keys are arranged differently - why there isn't a standard format - is beyond me - and a touchpad. I'll probably buy a mouse later but haven't got around to that yet.

Anyway onwards. The weather was miserable again last week. when it wasn't raining, we were treated to strong, bitingly, cold winds. We managed a few shorter walks with Ruby but didn't risk Nostell, as if the rain had started we would have had quite a trek back to the shelter of the car.

We made one visit - our first of the year - to the allotment. Had it not been necessary to harvest some vegetables,  we probably wouldn't have ventured out. As it was we didn't stay long.

    Heart warming to see that beautiful Winter Jasmine ! My mother always had that in her garden . Thinking to myself - Why haven't I got that ? I must look out for it and treat myself .

    Your leeks look good! But the weather is too awful, really not inviting!

      Good job that we lifted some before they were frozen in the ground, Belinda

    Nothing worse than a cold wind. I peaked into my greenhouse, but it's too cold to do anything there.
