Laying down (beet)roots

The weather has been amazing all weekend, which has been rather marvellous! I had a short stint at work on Saturday, but after that we set about building the new gate for outside (well, Mr C did most of it and I made him home made lemonade at his request at the same time!) We walked Ferris, watched Dr Who and a very one-dimensional film called In Her Shoes. Yesterday was even hotter, so we visited Nan and then went to Instow with FBSB. We hadn’t realised dogs were not allowed on the beach from May 1st (we were not the only ones, mind) as we had to park out of the village as there were so many people about taking advantage of the free parking. When we got home I went down to the allotment to hoe my onions, whilst Dad weeded my pots. They are both coming through quite strongly, which is exciting indeed! I also planted my first row of beetroot, some Red Ace F1s. This evening I might try to sow some lettuces if I get the chance. We then had a small barbecue with Cornish sardines, veg skewers and organic stake for Mum and Mr C with my ‘rents. The sun is still shining away today, so not a bad way to start the week, is it? |
