Allotment Week: Strawberries and Spuds

We've done the majority of major jobs this past week, so now we're left with a few smaller jobs just to tidy the week up.

Firstly The Wife is still amassing her Strawberry Empire. What started as 5 original plants (50p each or 5 for £2 from a car boot sale in Lincolnshire) now spans three beds, 39 individual pots, about a dozen of the 3-plant pink stacking things...

Meanwhile, I'm on leftover spud duty. We got some spare buckets at B&Q the other day. They'll do.

After that there were a few fixes to the rain water barrel, and covering up of the new courgette mound.

Plus a smattering of other odd jobs that needed doing.

Then of course there was some watering to be done. This dry weather has finally evaporated the paddy fields and kicked the turnips into growth.

And close on the heals on Yesterday's Apple Blossom, the Blueberries have started flowering.

Looks like this hot weather is coming to an end... as is Allotment Week. Picked a good week for it. More by luck than judgement.
