Do not fear my protectionist approach to copyright.

remember that i took about 8 days off to work on the lotty? well here’s the result:

compare this to the the before photo when we first got the plot:

i’d call that significant progress.

mrs. booyaa took a few days off to join me and she managed to plant marigolds around a few of our crops. she also managed to salvage the excessive space that was left after i sowed (or is is sewn?) the peas and beans.

we were away last weekend so we didn’t get up to much, however this morning i noticed on gardener’s world 7-day forecast there was a risk of air and ground frost tonight. so this evening i dashed over and tried to protect some of our precious crop.

strawbs under fleece (secured using a few tent pegs)

various plants in plastic bottle cloches (finally we get to recycle them ourselves on-site rather than relying on the council!)

no budget or hours twitter is acting up so I can’t go through my notes.
