cookinlovebird that is awful, I hate rats they are so destructive. Hopefully they won't come back.

Weather has stopped play as so to say at the moment, the ground is sooooo hard due to the frost  so hopefully now I am also better we can start soon......went along to a jumble sale at a local church hall yesterday and we purchased a new outfit for Charlie our scarecrow, black trousers, cream shirt , a blazer and a flat cap.. I think he will look splendid when we dress him up ..ohh I nearly forgot we picked up an old pair of walking boots for him too, he'll be the best dressed scarecrow on the plot.....Hubby has his work cut out , our poly tunnel has took the worst of the weather, Hubby has bought some new plastic sheet to recover the whole thing and will have to reinforce the inside but once thats done we can start to dig over the plot and get sowing our seeds. We have already purchased our potatoes and onion sets so all we need is a dry few days and we can make a start.  I will keep you all updated

Things not going so well this year with all this wet weather most of the seeds have washed out of the soil or have been ruined by all the rain. The only things growing are the WEEDS.....potatoes seem ok but I just hope they are not going to be water ones with no taste, cabbages doing ok but have not planted as many as last year. Some of the crops were killed off by frost over two nights so we have got alot to do to play catchup this year if the sun comes out and stays there I think we might still have a chance

I was thinking about an allotment and I know where these gardens are about the town, but I wouldn´t want to drive there every day. My dream would be to have a flat with an attached ground that can be used as a garden. I´m keeping my eyes open!

Hope things will turn out fine, cookin!
