My mail order seedlings arrived yesterday. 3 Victoria Rhubarbs and about 20 leeks. They are so tiny but will give me a head start as we have so little space for propagating at home. I have asparagus, baby gem lettuce and wild rocket coming soon too.
I am gutted as I have really nastily pulled a muscle in my middle back so wont be able to make the most of the bank holiday weekend. I could always just boss Nick about but then again I don’t think he’d like that. We are picking up a new car/tool shed at the weekend so I will be able to sort out some of the rubbish from my site once my pain stops. It is our wedding anniversary today and we (really I, poor Nick) got some lovely alloment related gifts. Firstly a Squires planting DVD which has given me some ideas on planting cottage type flowers to encourage wildlife around my veggies and secondly a book dedicated to allotment gardening. Has kept me occupied as I have been signed off work. I am so bored I am going to venture in tomorrow.
