One draw back to allotmenteeeing is that its just work, work, work. Just never a second to relax.

Silly Q time greenfingers. I started leeks too early and had to start again. A few people advised to sprinkle on a pot and leave them to go.

Well i did. Now what do I do? Leave them or pot on. If so how? Lol

Chilis are comjng ling nicely. A couple looking a little leggy but will plant them down to the true leaves when potting on. Started chives and restarted leeks as they just looked sad.

We all love a cheeky little before and after. Our apple tree area of the new plot all treated well. Sadly the previous plot owners did not look after these trees and we have a journey ahead. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Popped to the plot to drop some stuff off straight from work. A nice before pic before we get more sorted. But it was so peaceful. If it was warm I would have just say and enjoyed the world

It just arrived FFS!
