Update

Have been meaning to update the blog for some time now, but have been really busy making ready and potting on. The recent rains followed by 20+ temps have made everything burst into growth. Acquiring a 2nd key for the gates (10quid deposit) has allowed us to travel up at different times; maintaining watering and managing weeds.

Cuckoo-spit is a sure sign that Summer isn't far off. The local Robin is busy catching grubs and insects for the nestbox across the way. The Starlings have flown in from some distant place, squabbling in the Damsons. While the Pigeons are full of pre-planted peas.

The recent dry spell has allowed us to shift the old carpets from the plot to the local council tip (thanks for directions Dad). The shed has been fitted with little plastic hooks (to hang things on), and the tadpoles are now being fed on a diet of tropical fish food (don't ask) beneath the grape-vine which is now starting to shoot. we suspect there is thieving of trowels, someplace along the line, so plot19 is on Amber alert. lol
