allotment update cum ecto test post

long time no write on this subject, as you can see the lotty’s looking very scruffy and in serious need of tlc. luckily the weeds have died back for a bit.

i noticed that in safari the next image is stuck all the way down the page, not sure why. but i thought i’d warn you!

the pigeons got at a lot of our winter crop. they ravaged the spring cabbage.

i’ve put netting around our sprouts as a precautionary measure, they’ve got to survive until we bring with us for christmas dinner. we’re hoping everyone gets at least two sprouts each!

i asked lionel (our resident plot guru) why the wildlife didn’t go for the romanesque, he thought it was because they couldn’t see them. something to do with contrast perhaps?

the beans are looking sorry, they’re not dead but scrawny looking. i wonder if this is an over winter behaviour?

another plotber whose name eludes me at the moment, told me that the lotty got done over recently. a gang broke through the front gate and broke into every shed. they brought a van and it looks like they only wanted machinery. i feel sorry for those people who had stuff nicked, i hope those thieving gits get caught.
